Description
Description
The chance to climb the highest mountain in North America is an opportunity any mountaineer shouldn’t pass up. So if you’ve ever wanted to climb the famed Mount Denali (6,190m) in Alaska, then this 15 day expedition along the normal route is definitely for you.
Beginning in Talketna, you will get to enjoy a short, but scenic flight to the Kahitna glacier. From there, the adventure will begin, as you will get to traverse the enormous glacier.
After that, we will steadily make our way up Mount Denali. We will be stopping at various camps. Thus giving you plenty of opportunity to rest and acclimatize. In the camps, you will also get to practice the skills needed for the final summit climb. In addition, there are several reserve days on this trip. Thus ensuring that even in the case of bad weather or snow or ice conditions, the chances are very high that you will get to stand atop the unbelievable summit of Denali.
Due to the enormity of Mount Denali, and the unpredictable conditions of the mountain, it is important that participants on this trip have prior mountaineering experience. It is also crucial that participants are in good physical condition as well.
On this trip, you will get to reach the summit of the highest mountain of North America. You will also get to traverse an enormous glacier, enjoy a beautifully scenic flight and test yourself in some of the world’s wildest terrain. To join me on this 15 day adventure, just send me a request.
Would you like to reach the summit of another world famous peak? Then join me on this 6 day expedition to the top of Mont Blanc in the Alps of France.

Carlos is a very accomplished rock climber, speaks great English, and is fun to be around. We felt very safe while climbing with him on the Sharks Fin, and learned a lot too.

The whole trip was excellent. Explore share did a great job coordinating. Carlos is an experienced guide and effective teacher. I felt safe with him the whole time we were on the mountain. The weather was terrific and we summited just as expected. I highly recommend Carlos Vasquez for Mont Blanc.

Carlos was a professional and committed guide! We had three great days. He was friendly and guided us savely up to mt blanc. i dont understand the one bad rating carlos got. In my opinion it think it was an bloody amateur which shouldnt have been on mt blanc in the first place. Let me say one thing. If you have no experience on higher mountains and in climbing in general, there is no place for you on mt blanc. train hard, prepare and come with the right expectation!
