Before the trip, Karla and Alvaro answered all of our questions and booked all of our accomodations before landing in Mexico. Alvaro, the owner of the business, is super knowledgable and was willing to work around my groups busy schedule for multiple video calls to answer questions and troubleshoot prior to the trip. Once we landed in Mexico, we were greeted by the coolest group of dudes. For La Minche, Alejandro and Danny were great! They made us awesome food and got us to the top with the perritos just as planned. Two days later, Gilgamesh and Paco guided us to the top of Pico de Orizaba in record time. I will definitely be recomending this outfit to anyone who is interested in a somewhat exotic trip to the third highest peak in North America!

Rafael was amazing the trip takes you all over Ecuador and the hikes were amazing with very professional guides, safety is #1 the whole time!

First time ever to Mexico. First time ever seeing a Volcano. First time ever attempting a 17,000+ ft peak. From start to finish this could not have been a better experience. If you can, try to request “Mesh” as your guide. Unbelievably knowledgeable and incredibly patient. Will be back for another trip sometime this year!

Such a great, well-organized program. Not only do you get acclimatized for the mountains faster but you also see a lot of Ecuador, which was a huge plus. Amazing guide, highly recommend.

Jaime Vargas and Sebastian were both excellent! Would not hesitate to book with them again! Knowledgeable, helpful, personable, and always mindful of our safety. Treated our team as fellow climbers. Enjoyable and rewarding experience!

3Summit was amazing, pofessional, and personable. Best guide service I've used, couldn't recommend them enough!

We didn't actually ever work with Jaime but the guides we did have were all pretty good. We had a big group (12 people) and they were able to accommodate us very well. Christian was the head guide and he did a great job communicating with us about our options and making sure we're being safe. Some of the guides didn't speak much English and that was a little difficult for the members of group who didn't know any Spanish.

Thanks to a very professional , kind and caring team , I had a very good time and felt very safe . I will certainly come back and choose again explore-share partner !

Best experience we could have asked for. I'm so happy we hired a guide for this. Their knowledge, expertise, and personality made the trip amazing. The climb is well worth the effort and I highly recommend.

Great company! Very organized, well prepared and they take very good care of you. I definitely recommend!

Miguel did an amazing job managing this trip. He went well above and beyond to ensure a safe and memorable trip to the summit of Osorno and back. I highly recommend this trip!

Great Organization, excellent equipment, perfect guiding and support. Can’t be better. We enjoyed the climb and the refuge very much. Highly recommended. Thanks Juan and also thank you Falco. Great Job!

Very good

Very informative and hands on course. Plenty of opportunity to practice, take pictures of the rescue set up and learn the knots etc. Paolo was a very good guide and instructor

I had a great time climbing Mt Triglav with Urôs. It’s definitely been a climbing highlight for me, so I can recommend him and the company he works for. If you’re wanting a safe, well organised and friendly service, I don’t think you can look past these guys. I’d happily use Mitja and Urôs again.

Disliked this tour. And don't like the way the guys/guides are communicating.

I highly recommend the climb to Osorno. The whole experience was awesome and it was only enhanced by my guide and the service provided by Explore-Share prior to and leading up to the climb. Extremely accommodating and quick to respond to any questions or concerns.

It was a trip of a life time ! But unfortunately there was a few issues that I will list here : - Before booking, I specifically asked if our guide will really be Tshering Bhote, and you told me "yes". I book the trip, arrive in Kathmandu, and realize that our guide will NOT be Tshering... Not cool... - The "to buy" list we got from you (Explore Share) included ropes of certain diameter and certain length, and when you arrived in Kathmandu, the guide told us right away that it was not suitable ! We had to buy new ones. - Before leaving, I asked if I can rent some of the heavy gear (crampons, ice axe, also helmet) and I was told yes. Once in Kathmandu, they tell you that you cannot rent crampons, you need to buy them. This is not nice because then you don't get much choice in models and in prices... And I didn't allow for this extra weight in my bags too, which then creates problems at the airport on the way back home. But the worst was the helmet : the company lent me a helmet that was broken in many parts. I asked the guide several times to have another one, he didn't want to. I didn't pay for it, but the helmet was not comfortable and made me have sore head, and it was a serious safety issue. - The itinerary makes us climb LOBUCHE EAST first, then ISLAND PEAK, and finally AMA DABLAM last. Which makes sens because AMA DABLAM is the highest and more complicated mountain to climb, so it gives us time to acclimate, to get used to the mountain gear, and to gain confidence hiking in high altitude before trying the big one. But right from day 1, our guide's plans was not to do AMA DABLAM last (but he didn't tell us). Indeed, he forced us to go to AMA DABLAM before ISLAND PEAK, even though we didn't want to. And sad to say that on summit day, the weather was better on ISLAND PEAK than on AMA DABLAM. I later on learned that they always do it this way. So why not telling us right from the beginning and change the itinerary that we receive before booking ? The fact that they receive a summit bonus on AMA DABLAM and not on ISLAND PEAK could explain this... But then the hike is not done according to the hiker's needs and will, which is a shame. - After doing AMA DABLAM, we were then supposed to go to ISLAND PEAK. But to our surprise, our guide stayed in AMA DABLAM to guide another group ! (another summit bonus...). Instead, he asked one of the sherpas to guide us to ISLAND PEAK, along with 2 porters. The sherpa/guide is a really nice guy, trying hard to help, but could barely speak any English and had no mountain certifications at all. The trip advertises, in big block letters and in the trip's title, a guide with big fancy mountain certifications, and we ended up with someone not speaking English and with no certifications, to take us to the second highest mountain of the trip ! Not cool... The guide that I paid for is on AMA DABLAM, also getting paid by another group. How does this work ? - On LOBUCHE EAST, the guide also skipped the crevas rescuing training day. He explained that other people in the group didn't feel so well, that's why he preferred skipping it and doing it later on AMA DABLAM or ISLAND PEAK. The problem is that we never did this training day, even though we finished the trip with a few spare days left. Overall, it was still a great trip. The THG staff is great, nice, positive and helpful people. The cooking was just amazing ! The porters are always smiling, and everyone gets on well, making it a nice atmosphere. It's just lacking some communication between Explore Share and THG I think, and a guide maybe a bit more frank with his clients. Hope this helps ;-)

Alex and Alfredo did an amazing job guiding us through the Colombian wilderness and to the top of Tolima. Alex went above and beyond with giving a great experience and offered more than what we expected. Tolima is a great beginners route for getting a taste of mountaineering. Great views and great guides!

My wife and I had an exceptionally fine experience on our climb. We initially had planned the Cotopaxi trip, however volcanic activity pre-empted that and we shifted to Cayambe, Ecuador's third highest peak. Our guide was Jose Salazar and from the inquiry and planning stages we had extremely attentive and responsive service from Elisabeth Gschosser at the guiding service. No question was left unanswered. I have worked with many guiding firms- RMI, EMS, Exum to name several and Jose was by far the best guide I have worked with. IFMGA Certified, multi-lingual, a man of letters, extremely patient, an absolute gentleman, and most importantly Jose focused on us- his clients. His goal was not to run up the mountain at his speed so that the next group or clients can be ushered through the climb as in a "cattle-call". Rather, he initiated a pace that he knew would work for clients out age (63 and 54) who had never been above 14,440' prior to coming to Ecuador. He was focused on safety, technique, pace, resting, hydrating and nourishment- and of course how his clients were performing and feeling. We learned much about ourselves and our capabilities on Cayambe- but most of all we learned what a professional mountain guide was. I intend to return to Ecuador and it will be on Jose's rope that I will be climbing. A truly wonderful experience- thanks to all at Explore-Share and Andean Summit Adventure.

It was an excellent trip with a good team to take care of us. I just didn't liked 2 things : - Hidden cost that were revealed at the last minute (differents bonus not talked before) - The guide that pushed us too fast even when i was feeling sick and knowing we got plenty of time... Else Tseering and his teams were always there to help and adapt to our need.

Mitja was fantastic as a guide. Very communicative, accommodating, and always ensured you were doing alright. Weather was not the most pleasant but Mitja clearly knows the mountain very well and how to guide you safely up and down the mountain safely despite heavy snow and winds

Brilliant climb of Cerro Electrico with Merlin! I had actually booked for a 2 day ascent of Mojon Rojo but the weather forecast didn’t allow it. As I couldn’t stay another day Merlin offered the 1 day climb of Cerro Electrico instead. I felt very safe with him all day, he has a vast experience of mountaineering in the region and beyond. I would definitely book with Merlin again.

My friend and I very much enjoyed our trip with Juan and his team. Juan went above and beyond to make the trip enjoyable and his knowledge of the Ecuadorian mountains and culture was superb! Before the trip, Juan quickly responded to our questions over WhatsApp and gave us an equipment list when we asked for it. Some of the items on the list (e.g., mountaineering boots, ice axes, helmets, crampons, and harnesses) would be provided for us in Ecuador. However, we suggest using your own mountaineering boots because there was not a large selection of sizes or styles to choose from. Also, be sure to bring a pair of non-mountaineering hiking shoes/boots for the acclimatizing hike of Rumiñahu. Once in Ecuador, Juan communicated with us about a morning pick-up at our hostel in Quito. We spent the drive to our first hike introducing ourselves and talking about the plans/options for the week. Juan speaks okay English and we learned to ask things multiple ways so to make sure our questions were understood. The other two members of his team did not speak English well, including his equipment coordinator, so we relied on translation apps and our minimal Spanish to communicate. Despite the language barrier, his team was very kind, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the trip. Juan was happy to hear we had no diet restrictions and were excited to try some Ecuadorian cuisine. Our included meals on the road and at the Hacienda San Joaquin were delicious--we even eat some cuy (a.k.a. guinea pig)! Juan and the San Joaquin staff also went above and beyond when they found out we were celebrating our birthdays and we each got our own homemade cakes! Juan is a very busy guide and is often on the phone with his team planning trip details for other clients. My friend and I were glad to have each other to talk to during long car rides and on rest days. On this all-inclusive trip there were times when he is was not with us, but he always worked hard to give us options for fun things to do on our own. As with all mountaineering, the trip itinerary changed often. First, Cotopaxi was active during our visit and was unsafe to summit, so Juan offered to substitute another mountain and we choose Cayambe. After two successful summits of Rumiñahu and Illiniza, we took an extra day to allow the weather to change on Cayambe. On this rest day, Juan coordinated with his friends to drive us to Lake Quilotoa for a day visit. At Cayambe, we found out the avalanche danger would likely spoil our summit plans, so we worked with Juan to do an early morning sunrise hike to the base of the glacier instead. It was a bummer not to summit, but the sunrise was worth the hike! We could see Cotopaxi and its volcanic plume in the distance. Finally, the summit attempt of Chimborazo went well. The weather and snow conditions were great and the night was beautiful. After climbing for 5 hours, I began to struggle on the final steep climb to the summit. Juan told me to really consider my fitness and ability to finish the next 3-4 hours of steep climbing. I made the decision to turn around, and Juan safely guided us down the mountain in the dark. Overall, we had a great time! When we return to attempt the summits again, we will absolutely be calling on Juan to guide us—muchas gracias!

A truely amazing experience that I would recommend for anyone serious about climbing AMA Dablam. You need a very high level of fitness & mental strength to climb ama Dablam, it is not a beginner peak. Research the climb, gear required & treking around the Khumbu area before you desire to do this course so you are under no illusions prior to leaving for Nepal. If you have done the research, have all the right gear and have trained appropriately I guarantee you will love this. I recommend purchasing Uphill Athletes 24wk mountaineering training program to get you into mountain shape.

Amazing trip, our guide Dani and his help Alex were both legends and we felt really safe and well looked after. The only thing we wish we’d had is some form of communal tent at the campsite to chill whilst we acclimatised but other than that would 100% recommend

Had an amazing trip. The huts were closed due to the snow so we had a day rock climbing in the canyon behind litochoro on the first day (I’m horrendous with heights but Babis kept encouraging me and got me through it) and we submitted skolio on the second day. He made the whole thing so easy and helped make it a great experience

We were lucky to have unconditionally perfect weather for late of november - warm, sunny, slight wind and in addition - a good company - Cveto, the guide. I came across explore-share platform by 'accident' and tryed to contact a local guide there, but as she was not willing to guide in november, guys from Exlore-share spreaded my message among others and there came Cveto. Everthing worked out really nice with him starting from first messages in our communication to meeting me at railway station mid-night, having a good nap in his car before heading up the Fuji and the whole day filled with good conversation, stories and smiles! Thank you, Explore-share Team, for being part of this adventure!

This was a very well organized tour. Although Rafael was unable to continue after day 4 (due to unforeseen circumstances) he made sure l was able to continue with another guide. The acclimatization program worked wonders and l had no altitude issues in Chimborazo or Cayambe (back up as Cotopaxi was closed). I’d highly recommend this program if you are looking to get into mountaineering. I would climb with Rafael again.

We had an amazing Mardi Himal trek. We booked last minute and we were dealt with promptly and professionally. The trek was fully customisable including a stay in a lovely hotel and bus rides to and from Kathmandu. Our guide Amir was awesome and made our trek everything we wanted. Thank you so much!

Great service from both Explore-Share and Mitja Sorn Guiding Team. Mita introduced me to my Guide Uros who kept me up to date and informed about the climbing situation due to weather. Due to limited availability of time and good weather, we opted for a day climb. It was a very long day, but thoroughly enjoyable despite the limited views. Uros was very knowledgeable of Triglav and the national park and we had some great conversations. A fantastic experience and totally recommend Mitja and his guiding team. Thank you!

Loved my guide and the trip! Will 100% do it again.

Short story: Chika is awesome, hire her. Long version: We are very satisfied with the experience. Chika made sure we had the proper gear and kept us informed on what to expect and what to bring weeks in advance. One or two days before our reservation, the weather was uncertain and she offered us the flexibility to wait until the last second to decide whether to cancel, change the date (we could not change for another date) or go ahead with the activity. On the morning of the activity, the forecast was dangerously windy (70-80 Km/h) but she is very knowledgeable of the mountain and its weather and made the call to change the climbing route. Since the wind was expected to be mostly NE, she hoped the Yoshida route would be less windy since the mountain offered some cover. She was right, we enjoyed a fantastic climb. Moreover she picked us up in our hotel in the fuji area and dropped us off at the train station, and even helped us with the train tickets! couldn't ask for more! Thanks Chika!

Falco provided necessary gear to us and took us safe and efficient on the top and down again.

Thank you for putting this trip together for me at the last minute after my group canceled on me. Fernando was a great guide who knows the route up Cotopaxi very well. The meals and lodging were also great and well worth the price, in my opinion.

Awesome climbing with Chikako-san, weather was perfect and she was really good, being able to provide us an excellent experience!

All around, it was an awesome experience made seamless and absolutely comfortable with sincere thanks to the utmost professionalism of Mesh (my guide), Alvaro and Karla (from 3Summits Adventure) and the support personnel at base camp.

Babis made the whole trip very smooth and he met us at our hotel. We actually went up Mount Olympus with his colleague Stelios, who was an incredible guide. Stelios was very knowledgeable and made the trip incredibly smooth. I am very afraid of heights, but was able to summit Mytikas (to my surprise) with the guidance of Stelios. I cannot thank Babis and Stelios enough for all their help that made this an unforgettable trip! Would highly recommend. They are really the best of the best!

With the support of Dimitris and his assistant Ismini, we were able to conquer two peaks. I appreciate much their experiences and kindness. 5 Star guides. The On Day 1, they picked me up at the hotel in Litochoro at 9:00, then Dimitris has checked my belongings and purchased extra bottle of water. I borrowed a helmet, harness and headlamp . I should have taken my own headlamp(light). He drove to Gortsia and park there. We started toward the first ref. Petrostouga. We took a short rest around 11:00, then we continued to the first peak, Skourta. I was able to keep my body warm, to avoid to be cold, by switching between fleece, wool underwear and a rain coat that also provided wind protection. Along the way, I learnt a lot about vegetation, trail safety, and how to climb efficiently from Dimitoris. Soon after walking on the beautiful ridge, we have faced a bit steep rocky trail, then we were on the Plateau. We have stayed our base ref. G. Apostolidis. As Dimitris had taught me beforehand, I did not need a sleeping bag; just a liner was sufficient. Next morning, we woke up at around 6:30, then we had breakfast and went to the highest peak, Mitikas. I proceeded between the two of them and when I reached the bolt for protection, I was taught to switch the carabiner of the lifeline to my back. Half an hour's climb up a slightly steeper trail and we were at the top. At the second summit, Stefani, we only stayed for about a minute due to bad weather at the top, but we did feel a sense of achievement. Aiming to descend after 5:00 pm that day, I quickly returned to the base refuge, picked up my gear and decided to head for Prionia, another trailhead, this time via Spilios Agapitos. It seemed quite long, but somehow my knees held out and we reached the trailhead almost on schedule at 17:30 h. We were able to hitch a bus that had taken another group up to Gortsia. He was right that I was a very average climber, and the difficulty level was just right. However, it would be a bit difficult to summit safely without a guide. And perfect weather was also helped me. The original itinerary was for three days, but a week before, I was informed that it would be two days due to the guide's availability, and he asked if he could compensate by climbing the second highest summit, Stefani, as well. Unfortunately, the weather on the two summits was bad and I honestly don't know if this would have compensated for the three-day trekking, but the tour was satisfactory and I gave it five stars. If the customer didn’t have enough toughness, or weather was not perfect, it would be difficult to complete all the way including two peaks within two day. The website was also okay, but the original schedule was still unclear for me. The preferable belongings (differ from the seasons), route map, and itinerary should be clearly written.

Very good acclimatisation program and safe 1:1 climbing as I always was well looked after. Communication regarding weather and conditions were meticulous so we could adapt as we went along, increasing safety.

brava！

This trip to the summit was awesome. Jaime is a high prefessional guide with a lot of experience and good motivation skills. It was hard but I would do it again. I already thinking abaout the Chimborazo. In 2 years i will be back, so be ready for the Chimborazo, Jaime. :) Thank you!

Fantastic experience with very patient guides Elis and Paulo. Can’t wait for the next one Regards Allan

The trip included a climb on Gran Paradiso and Mont Blanc by Italian guides. Prior to the trip, I had asked twice if my trip could be rescheduled to the following year because we had heard of safety concerns on Mont Blanc and my main climbing partner was not able to come so my wife was filling in (and she did not have experience climbing big mountains). I did not get a reply on those questions, so rather than lose the money entirely, we decided me must try. Long story short, she got altitude sickness on Gran Paradiso so Month Blanc was definitely out. PeaksHunter staff informed me that not only could I not get a refund (which is understandable), I could not reschedule the Mont Blanc portion to the following season (a question I had earlier asked and not been answered). If you are looking to climb Mont Blanc, I would highly suggest looking at French only guides, as there are a LOT of hidden fees with PeaksHunter and their policies are not at all customer friendly. To be fair, I should note that PeaksHunter showed excellent hospitality with scheduling rooms and alternate plans for us, but in the end, I paid for a climb on Mont Blanc, and even though PeaksHunter wanted to reschedule my climb by moving a couple of days for weather reasons, they refused to work with me on moving to the next season which I think is completely unreasonable. Last, I would like to say that our guide, Paolo was AMAZING in how he looked after my wife and got her safely off the mountain when she suffered from altitude sickness. I hope the company gave him some of the money they kept from refusing to reschedule my Mont Blanc portion of the climb.

We spent a perfect week with Stephane in Chamonix. The 3 days acclimatization in the beginning are physically rather less demanding, but seemed very important to learn and deepen mountain climbing techniques as well as getting used to the altitude and to each other. The climb itself is very demanding, though. We started from the town of Bionnassay to the Tete Rousse Hut (1800 meters in altitude) on day 1, continued to the summit of Mont Blanc on day 2 (YES, we made it!) and returned to Tete Rousse Hut on day 2 (1800 meters up and down) and down to Bionnassay on day 3. Stephane made an outstanding job in keeping us going and motivated - and of course, high mountain trekking is exhausting and physically and mentally challenging. One should be aware of that before thinking of ascending Mont Blanc. We saw many other groups that were not well prepared and had difficulties during the trip. The 6 day itinerary gives the chance of evaluating one's capacities before starting the ascent. I would definitely recommend as well the trip as the guide Stephane Comte! Thank you!

All the booking went well with good preparation emails and information. It was a little late that we received the last update that we meet the guide in the hut, bet everything went well. The guide was very kind en helped us in the right pace to the top. The last part we went, but we go very fast downhill and the group wasn't able to walk together anymore. Overall it was a wonderful trip with great views. Thank al lot!!.

My summit attempt with Peakshunter was splendid. Jacopo was a fantastic guide and made me feel safe during the entire attempt. He also shared some great knowledge about climbing and mountains in general. Unfortunately we had to turn back before the summit due to the weather conditions, which was the right decision considering the circumstances. Peakshunter provided all relevant information and were always willing to answer questions if I had any. The first contact with the guide was also seamless and smooth. I will most definitely pick Peakshunter if I go for another attempt next year and highly recommend their services!

Dimitris is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, reliable, flexible and very safe. He was quickly able to gauge our group’s skill level and adjust our group’s needs (pace, timing, routes, etc). I would definitely recommend him for any adventure you have in mind. Thanks Dimitris for such an amazing experience!

The trek to the summit of Gran Paradiso was challenging and full of excellent scenery. In general, it was an enjoyable experience... the admin support, the planning and the equipment provided were all great and the Refuge Chabod was a brilliant set up. In order to help with future successful expeditions, it is VERY IMPORTANT that the guide provides a clear briefing at the start, then regularly listens to the clients, and also needs to be willing to adjust the pace when required. We felt we were being raced up and down the mountain as quickly as possibly, purely to suit the guide, without having sufficient breaks across the day to have the necessary water and nutrition and to catch a breath to simply enjoy the views from time to time. As a result of this desire to just 'get it done', there were moments when it felt unsafe and this forcefulness made the climbers feel uneasy and hustled on a number of occasions across the two days. These trips must focus on the needs and desires of the customer, especially as we are not familiar with this specific mountain. However, overall, it is a trip i would definitely recommend. There's a lot of ground to cover in two days but it can be done and is worth it. A beautiful summit and a stunning part of the world. Thanks.

Had an amazing experience! What memories but must be honest, we were in over our head. Feel we were physically up to it but we went from sea level to 10,000 feet in 30 hours and it was a challenge to keep up. Some time to acclimate would have made a big difference. The guides were careful and supportive. We were outside our comfort zone for sure but also realize that made it so memorable! Thanks Loren

Jaime is a fantastic and very experienced guide, the tour was very well organized: We were picked up in Quito and slept at Tampopaxi lodge for one night, a beautiful place. On the first day we did an acclimatisation hike which was quite rewarding. Then we drove/hiked up to the Cotopaxi refuge and started our ascent at midnight. Unfortunately we didn't make the summit due to the winds and our headlights died. The whole trip was still very interesting and definitely a great experience. Jaime and Elizabeth provided us with all the information we needed for the trip, helped with the gear and ensured a safe hike. Jaimewas very strikt with the safety rules. If we go for another hike on Cotopaxi we would definitely choose Jaime and the team again. Thanks so much for the great days.

First rate service

Excellent experience with Andreas who is an outstanding guide. Rain and icy conditions made it quite challenging, but Andreas still made it into a very enjoyable climb for my friend and colleague Johan, who, while very fit and an avid hiker, tried mountaineering for the first time.

Une expérience incroyable avec un guide (Stéphane) au top, 5jours de préparations technique + ascension du Mont Blanc. Une super ambiance (c’est important !) une préparation technique et mise en condition (cramponage ..) parfaite Plus qu’un guide nous avons trouvé un amis ! Je recommande a tout ceux qui veulent découvrir des lieux naturels exceptionnels En toute sécurité je suis avec un pro.! Merci pour cette belle aventure qui nous aura marqué fortement et ouvre le champ de nombreuses nouvelles opportunités !

Guide très professionnel et expérimenté. On a passé un excellent séjour.

If you're climbing the Matterhorn you need to go with a local guide who has climbed it many times and therefore knows the correct route. On our climb we encountered a lot of people off of the main route, which takes longer, is more dangerous, results in rocks being knocked down, and even getting stuck on the mountain without shelter for the night (as four climbers had the previous night). Daniel has climbed the Matterhorn over a hundred times and did nine days in a row in 2022. He was able to tell me to go straight, right or left and where footholds were. He is a very strong climber and I felt that he would probably catch me on the short rope if I slipped. It turned out that I was not in as good shape as I needed to be, so I climbed more slowly than ideal, for which I got a verbal flogging (hence minus one star). I made it to the Solvay hut in about 2:30 before we turned around. Notes: (1) You need to book two days with Daniel earlier in the week for a test climb to see how you do rock climbing and with crampons. All of the larger guide services do this. (2) You pay for your ticket and his for the tram, as well as for the rooms in the Hornli hut. (3) You might be able to borrow an ice ax and other gear. Check when you book, then confirm a few days before. You can rent gear at Yosemite and other shops in Zermatt.

We have had a great time - Impressive, challaging and safe. Compliments to Daniël out Guide.

Unbelievable experience! Tobias was the best; super experienced and I felt really safe with him on the rope. Thanks a lot!

Juan is awesome! This is my second trip with him and I am planning on a 3rd trip back to Ecuador!!

It was a hard climb but we'll served by the guide and his team!

I have summited some amazing peaks, but Mt. Whitney has stolen my heart. From her diverse landscape, to the ever changing appearance of her face each hour of the day; she is a wild beauty not easily put out of your mind. This Jersey girl hiked/climbed/scrambled-up/slid-down the Mountaineer’s Route, which was both physically and mentally challenging but, incredibly fulfilling. My guide, Matt M., was confident, extremely knowledgeable and skilled, and I am pretty sure part mountain goat. Best guide I have ever had, prettiest mountain I have ever been on; if you are considering this hike, I would say DO IT!

Fantastic guide service! I have skied with a number of guides over the years and I have to say that the guide we booked through SWS was one of the most knowledgeable, instructive and fun guides I have spent time with on the mountain. From the pre-trip communication all the way through the climb and ski down, I felt that I was in good hands, which was really important to me as my climb/ski partner was my 17 year old son. Our trip was epic, 4:00AM wakeup to a full moon, beautiful climb and huge ski down, my only complaint is that it was only a two day trip! Highly recommend, great experience!

My experience on triglav was amazing and in no small part due to our leader Mitja Sorn who was the most confidence inspiring leader one could have followed. Mitja pitched the whole trip professionally, timely and allowed the whole group to be involved in the climb. I felt our safety was a priority from the start of our two day journey till the very end of trip. I would like to thank all of our group and your team for the most amazing two day trip.

Too bad this review does not allow six stars. SWS is professional, client focused, flexible, and has the clients best interests in mind. I can say the personnel and leadership skills of the SWS guides are among the best. You can't go wrong with SWS.

I would highly recommend Anastasia! I had an amazing trip to Ala Archa with Anastasia during spring 2019. She is an excellent guide, very professional, have a lot of knowledge and you can really feel her passion for being in the mountains. Furthermore she is easy to be around and you can sense the hospitality. My next trip in Kyrgyzstan will definitely be with her again

Just finished my second trip with SWS Mountain guides...summiting Mt. Shasta a few days ago (previously climbed Mt Whitney last summer with SWS as well). This company provides excellent service both on and off the mountain, from addressing all my questions prior to the trip to establishing a well-rounded professional and fun educational experience during the climb itself!!!! Specifically, the guides on my trip were amazing, connecting with me on both a professional and personal level, keeping in tune with all aspects of the climb, emphasizing safety and education while helping me to fine-tune my climbing technique. Having used several different guiding services in the past, I have no hesitation to highly recommend SWS mountain guides!!!!

The best guide from Mexico 🇲🇽

Bonjour à tous, Un petit commentaire en français pour nos amis francophone : Super guide et organisation au top, il connaît la montagne et la région comme sa poche. Le rythme de montée était plutôt cool peut être plus lent que ce qu’on aurait fait naturellement mais il ne faut pas oublier qu’il y a 1500m de dénivelé positif sur 7,5 km jusqu’au gîte d’altitude, une montée de 5h qui s’est passé dans la bonne humeur en papotant. Quelques superbes point de vue sur la vallée et pas de difficultés particulières et Mitja fait les explications d’usage et répond à toutes les questions sur la région. Il parle de nombreuses langues mais pas le français, son anglais est impeccable avec une pointe d’accent locale. L’arrivée au gîte donne un superbe panorama, petite déconvenue plus d’eau depuis 8 jours dans le gîte, je vous laisse deviner ce que cela signifie niveau toilette. Étant partie tôt nous sommes arrivée vers 13h petite pause repas et ascension finale a 14h00 Pour des questions de sécurité nous avons été séparé en deux groupes de 4 en cordée avec un guide supplémentaire. Je vais être clair c’est le grand moment de la journée, via ferrata 400m de dénivelé sur 1,5km dont la moitié de crête, l’ascension est spectaculaire et physique, c’est totalement incroyable. Nous avons eu la change d’être avec un couple de super grimpeur et un guide qui a compris que l’on avait envie d’être challengé l’ascension a été faite en 50min contre 1h30/1h45 en moyenne on s’est régalé. Une fois en haut sensation d’accomplissement personnel et un panorama totalement mérité que seul votre sueur peut vous offrir. PS : un gars vend des boissons en haut (6 euros) il monte des dizaine de bières, panaché et coca. Repas dans le gîte rien à dire on mange bien Mitja s’occupe de tout on se laisse porter. La nuit dans le gîte et bien c’est une nuit en gîte quoi (propre rien à dire et tout le monde respectueux). Le lendemain descente en 3h20 pour les plus rapides et habitués, Mitja a pris soin de ceux un peu en difficulté sur la descente. Super souvenir, une bonne première approche de la moyenne montagne, cela permet de savoir de quoi on est capable. IMPORTANT Après en avoir discuté avec les autres si les conditions météo les permettent et si Mitja le propose faite vous violence même si vous etes un peu fatigué et faite l’ascension finale dès le premier jour. Le lendemain la nuit en gîte ne vous ayant pas vraiment reposé et quelques courbatures et/douleurs apparaissant vous n’aurait pas le même plaisir et vous subirez la descente sur sol glissant. De plus vous êtes en bas vers 12h donc vous avez le temps de profiter de votre après midi :) Merci à Mitja et au super petit groupe avec qui nous avons grimpé. Maintenant on va viser un somment à 3500 ça donne trop envie. Amis grimpeurs avertis même si vous avez un peu d’expérience, la montagne est toujours un risque un guide le limite donc ne jouer pas avec votre sécurité et faites vous encadrer. Est ce que nous aurions pu le faire seul ? Oui sûrement. Est ce que nous aurions pris autant de plaisir : NON clairement, là nous avons pu débrancher le cerveau et simplement profiter cela change tout. ++ Emilie et Steve

Excellent service from explore-share. I did the one-day option; was picked up from my hotel in Tokyo at 1 am and started the climb at 4 am. We were lucky with the weather and the hike was fantastic, but strenuous. My guide, Kan was super helpful and knowledgable. I recommend him to anyone who is looking to do the hike up Mount Fuji.

It was amazing!

Elis was very concerned about our safety and he did it very good. He explained how crevasses are formed and how to discover them. He had a really strong pace going up but we keep up with him the whole time. His English was good and we had a lot of fun! With him you feel confident to climb any mountain.

Mitja is a great guide, I can fully recommend the trip and his services!

We were unable to climb the Arete des Cosmiques due to rock fall and crevasse issues, but we were able to re-route to the Aiguillie du Marbrees and it turned out to be the best choice given the situation. Had a great experience and Catalin Dobre was excellent in guiding me to a wonderful adventure

Great experience. We did Rumiñawi, corázon, and Illiniza Norte as acclimatization hikes. All of them were beautiful. We attempted Cotopaxi but had a snow storm and heavy winds during the night of the summit and we were forced to turn around. The 3 initial climbs prepared us well for Cotopaxi and the altitude. There were some technical scrambling portions on corazon and Illiniza which were very cool. Overall would highly recommend!

With the huts on Mont Blanc closed and climbing suspended Peakshunter reworked our trip very quickly and swapped Mont Blanc with a program on Monte Rosa. With K suffering from altitude sickness on GP the Guide was brilliant in slowing the pace for her to make two summits on Monte Rosa and rather than risk problems by going higher on the last day rearranged the programme again and arranged a brilliant day on the Aiguille Marbrees. Thank you!

Perfect trip from start to finish. Karla was fantastic and Mesh was outstanding. Awesome experience! I would 100% recommend.

We had a fantastic 5 days mountaineering with Kyriakos, despite Gouter Refuge being shut and the Glaciers around Mont Blanc being generally unsafe. The ascent of Gran Paradiso is something I’ll remember for a very long time. A massive thank you to Kyriakos for everything that you taught us.

Excellent experience with Marcelo and Silvia. 5 stars in all criteria and already looking forward my next trip with them :)

We had a fantastic trip up Triglav with Igor from the Mitja Sorn guiding team. Communications in advance while we were organising the trip were very responsive with all of our questions answered. We were told exactly what to pack in advance, which was really helpful, and we were very impressed with how well organised everything was to get us up the top in the best weather conditions (which given the changeable weather was quite an achievement). Igor was clearly a very experienced guide and made us all feel very safe on the trip. The Triglav mountain hut was extremely comfortable though you might consider taking ear plugs if you are kept awake by noise. We would have no hesitation recommending this guiding team to anyone else contemplating a Triglav ascent during their visit to Slovenia.

Excellent trip, Daniel was a great guide and positively challenged us. He made us feel safe. Would love to book another trip with him!

Tobias was an excellent guide and very kind . Very safety conscious and made the ascent very nice. I would recommend Tobias any time. It was a wonderful experience. Al

This was wonderful! Jaime did a great job and everything leading up to the trip (communication, etc.) was great. Thank you so much!

Life changing experience!!

Tobias was an extremely good guide and ade the trip run very smoothly!

What a great trip!! Akis is and was every inch the professional, collecting us right outside our hotel and transporting us to the start point, his advice and knowledge were excellent, I learned lots about life on the mountain from him, from the wild horses living the good life to the fit looking cattle and sheep the farmers keep, Olympus was the star of the show, at scala a scary, jaw dropping beauty confronted us, and with Akis’s steady hand we made it up and down with no dramas!! Loved it as did my partner Angie!!

Had an absolutely fantastic experience on a 3 day trip of Gran Paradiso. Our guide Christophe Garrigues was incredibly knowledgeable and patient and ensured everyone in our group felt comfortable and confident when on the mountain or using new equipment. Definitely a trip to be repeated with Azimut and hopefully Christophe!

Agree with prior review that pretrip communication could improve, but otherwise, superb guide and person

Juan Carlos was an excellent guide. In preparing for the hike in the months before he was responsive and he made it easy. I felt very well taken care of during the whole experience. He treated us warmly with care. When it was time to climb he was very experienced in both technique and route. He got me as far as we could go with each mountain. I would gladly have him as a guide again. I would trust him completely. Thank you Juan Carlos for an amazing adventure. Michael Beamer

All was good, Daniel was exceptional: friendly, attentive, professional. I was surprised I had to additionally pay for the hut as I bought all inclusive package and it was no where mentioned about additional costs.

Great trek up Gran Paradiso! A little disorganised in terms of lack of information but we felt everything went smoothly and we felt safe with our guide, Mario! Grazie 😊.

We climbed Triglav mountain with our kids of 11 and 14 years old. Our guide turned out to be Blaz and this couldn't have been better. Such as nice normal guy with so much experience. It was fun with him, lots of info and it felt really safe so we could relax and enjoy the climb and descent. Explore -share was a good way to get in contact with the professionals we needed on this trip.

Thank you so much for guiding me!

Kyriakos was the best guide that we could asked for and more. Very professional and skilled in any aspect of mountaineering and climbing. We learned from him a lot , spend together 5 amazing days full of action.

ça vaut beaucoup plus ce que je pensais Cette excusions Mon guide Montagne jacopo C'est un entraîneur d'alpinisme supérieur et invincible. C'est un homme avec des ailes. Sur ses ailes, il m'a emmené faire l'expérience de la perspective d'un immense sommet de montagne. Que normalement je peux jamais moi-même l'expérience ultime de survoler les avant-toits... Plusieurs dimensions d'amélioration cognitive... Cette expérience de pointe restera dans mon esprit et apportera au point de départ motivationdans le futur. Et après tu retourner dans le sens de bons techniques et bon chemin Tu repartez avec l’expérience conseil de expector Avec petits pas à pas, rentré de réaliste déplacé de tout imaginer de impossible , de venir visible Il m'a aussi donné une inspiration psychologique. Enfin il m'a dit : La vie est pour l'expérience, pas pour la perfection. Les deux les deux troisième choix flexible Ce n'est que le début d'un plateau supérieur du nouveau monde, juste à partir de là ; le point le plus élevé du monde pour... commencer. Le plus important c'est de sortir et de s'essayer. Si tu ne sors pas, comment vas-tu faire le trapèze... Comment apprendre à nager si tu n'entres pas dans l'eau ? Freestyle…

Our guide Cveto was very knowledgeable and friendly. The pace of the climb was tailor made and perfect for our group. Overall a very enjoyable experience!

Great tips and pace

Tobias was awesome! Highly recommend!!!

I have completed approx 20 plus hikes and feedback is Demitris is the best guide. He is a master of assessing the risks, helped me with planning, motivated me along the way and gave me many tips to improve as a hiker. I would like to go for additional hikes with Demitris.

Mitja is a top guide! He made us wake up early (4am), so we could do the climb all the way up in the morning/at noon the first day to have the best views (in the late afternoon and next day rain announced). He keeps on motivating you during the climb and makes you feel safe all the time (it was our first time via ferrata). If you are in good physical condition, you can easily do the climb. The hut is very basic. But everything is arranged by Mitja, so you just need to 'relax' and enjoy. Thank you for the experience!

Tobias and Jaromias were excellent guides. The trip was wonderful and hopefully we'll get a chance to climb again together some day!

My guide Bernardo was fantastic and super helpful and experienced and friendly. They were also able to provide me vegetarian food, and a sleeping bag. I have particularly large feet (US size 14-15 in sneakers), which means that the ordinary krampons didn’t fit my boots( (US size 13). But they worked to find me some krampons that would fit me in time. I share this as testimony for their good service but also as an advice to give your guide a headsup if your feet are also particularly large. I did not make it to the top, but only becauae i was gassed (out of energy). The aclimitization and pace were good. It was a challenge for me to do so much hiking in the cold and dark hours of the morning before sunrise. But even though i didn’t make the summit, i accomplished a lot and set personal records and had a very unique experience with unbelievable views. And the guide and company were very helpful always.

Dear Sir I am very disappointed to say that I am appalled by your guide and his service. The first 3 days he was excellent and trained us well. Once we got in the mountain everything changed. He didn’t bother to check our bags which ended up with us carrying 8/9 KG’s overweight. Not only till another guide asked him why my bag was so big did he realize that it was a good idea to check. Not very professional. Then instead of been on the mountain 3 nights (as planned) he ran us up and down in 2 nights (3 days). Because of a storm on the second day, we did not summit. The next day the weather was better and if he had stuck to the plan, we would have made it. On summit day he kept shouting at my son (in front of a lot of people) just because my son took a few minutes more to get ready. He shortened our time on the mountain by one night just so he could get too the next client. On the 5th we were supposed to decent from Tette Rousse to the train. He was already with the next couple. At one stage I wanted to walk with 2 poles, he didn’t let me. (many other people used 2 poles) The only thing that interested him was breaking records for going up and down. I felt like I was in army basic training. I am 56 years old. On the last day from Tette Rousse to the train, he ran down so fast that the last 15 minutes on the mountain we were alone (he was at the train station) I trusted him and got scammed. In short, I already have a 4 team trip for next year, but because I cannot trust you or your guide I am forced to use a another company. I will not either be able to recommend your company to others either. Pity, it cost me a lot of money. And I believe you owe me on day fee, as we spent 2 nights on the mountain and not 3. Very disappointing

Octavio wss injured and we ended up with Hector instead. He is new, but is very friendly and hard working. I would acclimatize more than the stated 3 days at one of the lagoons if you want to increase your chance at success. Communication was lacking a little prior to the trip with no contact until the day before the trip. Overall the crew was great and went above and beyond my expectations.

Félicitations à Babis Mainidis qui a su se mettre au niveau d'une débutante.

Had a fine trip to Grand Paradiso with guide Elis from Peaks Hunters. The speed were quite high but good to be tested before mont blanc. Elis and us self evaluated that the succesrate to summit MB would be low so eighter an alternative climb or convert the trip for next year at French side. I understood we could convert the tour and get an voucher to be used next year. Contacted Silvia as well day after to comfirm that if we could get a voucer we then would like to cancel. Silvia agreed to send voucer day after. Now to day they unfortunately reply to the cancellation policy (no refund ). A very disappointing turn around, in that case we would ofcause have taken an alternative tour now when we had vacation. Br Jesper Pedersen

The trip was great, the list of equipment adapted and our guide was so impressive and passionnate. If you have the chance to hike with Cveto, you can go for it with your eyes closed !

Guides and everything on the Bolivian side are amazing. The Bolivian team in the offices of La Paz are amazing. Flexible, professional, knowledgable, reliable, and deliver an incredible experience. The guide Tia was 99% responsible for my positive review. Tia the guide needs to receive a higher percentage of the money.

Babis is an amazing guide with years of climbing experience all over the world. I was able to really enjoy the last scramble up Mt Olympus because Babis had me in harness and guided me safely--totally without fear of falling--unlike the people trying to do it without a guide and ropes. Very patient and encouraging. Great trip!

Dimitris was an amazing guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful as he took us up Olympus and even afterwards. We would highly recommend anyone looking to ascend Olympus to book with Dimitris!

It was a great hike. Very well organised and managed. The views were fantastic!

Absolutely unreal day! Weather not perfect, but the guide, Andrea, had other options lined up if the weather didn't allow us to summit. Class

Climbing Mt. Fuji during this time was most definitely worth it. There were no crowds to contend with and the experience was very enriching. Cveto is an exceptionally amazing guide with decades of experience and was an absolute pleasure to be around. During the trip, my legs cramped up to the point of barely being able to walk. However, with Cveto's attentiveness and patience, we were able to make it to the top and back down without any issues. Having Cveto on this climb was highly vital for my trip and it would be a mistake to not have him accompany yours. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Myself and Joe made it to the top of Mont Blanc this morning! Many thanks to our fantastic guide Claudio…. Top Man! ⛰

Clients should be told that the money paid is just for explore-share and the guide. That there is extra cost. €56 for transportation, €18 per person per night, cost of food and a guide is not necessary if you don't go to the summit. The fitness level is very high.

This was a fantastic trip with Cveto. Our initial date for the climb was unsuitable due to some very bad weather so we rearranged to take the trip on another day. We (three >40yo blokes) stayed in a mountain hut with Cveto the night before and set off for the climb at about 4:30am from an altitude of about 2100m. Even though it was mid June, there was quite a bit of snow on the mountain, particularly towards the top.This required us to don the crampons and rope up. We reached the summit after about 5.5 hours. We then descended around 1500m on snow (much of it sliding down on our backsides - very very fun!). One of the best things about the climb was that we saw two other climbers in total! Cveto was extremely professional throughout and our safety and enjoyment were his priorities. He is an extremely knowledgeable and interesting guy and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody wanting an off-season summit attempt of this wonderful mountain. Thanks Cveto!!

Quelques petits problèmes d'organisation , vite reglés par le guide très impliqué . Très bon choix pour l'Hotel. pour le programme, on devrait avoir un peu plus d'intensité lors de la préparation . le 1/2 jour de repos est le bienvenu

For those who don't have the convenience of time or just want to avoid a crowd, would recommend this Mt. Fuji hike. No open amenities, but it also means no lines. My guide, Cvetko, was exceptionally knowledgeable - makes sense having done this hundreds of time - and extremely patient with this newbie hiker. I was worried I couldn't do it, but his gentle guidance made such a difference. I am proud to say I made it to the top. Definitely recommend!

Unfortunately the guide did not speak English fluently enough for us to have a good constructive dialog. We got more information from listening in on other guides when they informed their clients. It halted our possibility to plan and adjust our trip underway. The dialog between us, Explore-share and PeaksHunter was at times confusing and created some uncertainties regarding responsibility, payments and information. We will in the future try to go directly to a provider instead of going through a third party.

Cveto is a very experienced mountain guide and a great company. We had a fantastic day with him where he helped us through all our difficulties with ease. We felt very safe on this not so safe snowy Mount Fuji. Can fully recommend Cveto and hope to do more mountains with him.

Akis is a great guide, we wouldn’t have made it up Mytikas without his help! The only thing was really that the car is too small and not really able to fit 3 of us for a 2hr ride to olympus and 2hr ride back.

Alvaro and Karla provided great service. Our guides Abraham and Alejandro went above and beyond to get us to the summit safely. Great trip -- highly recommended!

Fernando was a fantastic guide who got me to the summit despite extremely difficult weather conditions! I would highly recommend him to anyone hoping to climb Ecuador's big peaks.

Jamie was an excellent guide and went out of his way to make sure everything was organized and went smoothly. He was flexible and worked hard which was particularly needed when my luggage did not arrive in time for the expedition. Thanks to him everything went smoothly. He was experienced on the mountain and went above and beyond both in safety and logistics.

Very beautiful trip, with several different interesting types of challenges (need for snow shoes, crampons, varying temperatures, etc.) - We did the ascent in May which still means a lot of snow making the trip quite tough (you need to be in decent shape and have a some experience to enjoy the trip).

It was an incredible experience. Jaime is an extremely professional and knowledgeable guide.

I am 63,  I tried to climb Pico de Orizaba 6 months ago without success.  I was in a group of 8 people and the guides seemed to be in a hurry to finish their job, I could not keep up with their pace. I decided to try it again, searching the web for Pico de Orizaba climbing I found Explore-Share where you can find guides from all over the world, 3Summits Adventure was the option that could not have been better,  I can say there is a world of difference between 3Summits Adventure and the other mountain guides. My guide Lalo was all attention to detail,  he let me climb at my pace always making sure I was in condition to continue and checking for any symptoms that could affect the climb, without his patience and experience in the mountain I could not have reached the summit. In 5 days I climbed La Malinche and Pico de Orizaba, something that at my age I could not have done it without the guides and services 3Summits provided, Karla and Lalo made it possible for me. You can take a risk and try other guides, there are plenty of them, but if you really want to make it to the summit 3Summits the best option.

Great guide and experience! Highly recommend!

Jaime is experienced guide and went the extra mile to make sure I had all the right equipment to climb.

Exceeded all expectations! Would recommend both the platform, the mountain and the guides to anyone!

The whole process was AWESOME! They made everything so easy and enjoyable, even accommodated me with a food allergy. Could not recommend enough!

Jaime may be one of the most kind and capable human beings we’ve ever met. He let us know exactly what we needed to do to be safe on our summit, while also making it a fun and exciting experience. We were not as fit and experienced as we should have been, and Jaime made sure to not push us past any limits. We had an amazing time (even got engaged at the summit!). Coordination from Elisabeth beforehand was also clear and top-notch. An amazing trip that will forever be in our memories!

Long story in short: Great

Trip was perfect. Amazing landscape I've never seen before in my life and great adventure. Alex is a perfect guide you want to have in such trip. He knows region very well. Alex is attentive to details and adjust route and speed to your conditions. If I go to mountains in Colombia again, it would be with Alex. Thanks for such amazing trip.

Fantastic experience climbing Mount Triglav with outstanding mountain guide Mitja Sorn. It was my first winter ascent and ski touring experience but Mitja made it an enjoyable experience despite challenging conditions with strong winds and freezing temperatures. He knows these mountains like his own back pocket and is able to maximize the experience without taking undue risks. Truly a great experience.

Jaime was a fantastic guide and I had for both the Cotopaxi and Chimborazo expeditions. Very knowledgable and you never feel too out of it when you're with him. He was consistent on checking if I was doing okay which I really appreciated. Eliz, who I worked with for coordination, was also great. Super on top of it on making sure things ran smoothly. They both were quick to ensure I had the proper gear to take on these summits too. Highly recommend.

Hello! Super nice trip, We’re lucky with weather, sun, only little wind. Mitja was really good guide, teaching stuff & feeled really secure. I really recomend this tour if you are interested in to come out of comfort zone and have some experience I'n winter hiking already. Cool Trip!!! Teemu & Leon

I had a wonderful time on my journey to the top of the Osorno Volcano and cannot recommend Huella Andina enough. José and his team were very good at communicating with me from the moment I booked my trip. While I had been initially a little hesitant, unsure if I had enough experience for this trip, José was very clear about what to expect and assured me that my prior experience was definitely sufficient, putting my mind at ease. The trip itself was very well organized. My guide, Falco, picked me up from my hostel in Puerto Varas. I was able to stay in the Teski Refuge the night before the ascent, enjoying a delicious dinner and breakfast prior to the start. The climb became a little technical, as conditions were icy toward the top, but Falco was an excellent lead, telling me exactly what to do once we started to use the ropes. The view from the top was very special as you climb above the sea of clouds and see other volcanoes in the distance. If you are planning a trip to Osorno, I highly recommend Huella Andina Expeditions to take you all the way to the top! Can't wait to come back to Chile and do another trek with them!

Martin was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, who recognised the clients capabilities and adjust the course Accordingly. I would highly recommend him and look forward to booking my next climb. Well done Martin 👏

Awesome!

Mojon Rojo was my second climb with Merlin (I climbed Cerro Electrico with him 2 days earlier.) But it was like climbing with your old friend. I had an amazing time climbing with him. His climbing skills and knowledge are top notch. I can’t wait to climb more peaks in Patagonia with him.
