About this tour

What to expect
This is a serious day in the mountains. After arriving at the trailhead, you'll begin a steady climb before entering the technical section—a narrow crevasse system that demands careful footwork and concentration. The climbing isn't vertical, but it's steep, exposed in places, and requires you to use your hands frequently. You'll wear a helmet and harness throughout the scramble. The final approach to the summit is more straightforward, but by then your legs will know they've worked. Allow time at the top to recover and take in the views before a measured descent.
Good to know
Bring your own lunch and plenty of water. Coffee and tea are provided. This tour requires genuine mountain fitness—not gym fitness, but the ability to climb steep ground for hours. Unsuitable for anyone with spinal issues, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns. Start early and be prepared for changeable weather.
