Questions About This Tour
Yes, absolutely, this is a serious technical climbing expedition for experienced climbers, not a beginner adventure trek. The trek in itself is demanding, and the climbing is world class technical big wall terrain.
All personal technical climbing gear (ropes, protection, harnesses, etc.), we handle trek logistics, base camp support and permits, but climbing equipment is the climber's own responsibility.
