Highlights
Mount Triglav (2864m) is the highest mountain in Slovenia and, as such, deserves its own program. It’s a very popular place in my country. This is a mountain that you have to climb at least once in your life. I’m here to help you do it!
My group tours are a great opportunity for single climbers or for climbers who are part of a small group. These group outings run on Sundays/Mondays and Wednesdays/Thursdays from June 20th till the end of September (if you can’t leave on these dates, you can hire me for a private ascent).
I am an IFMGA mountain guide, which gives you additional safety. Unfortunately, you should know some agencies in Slovenia work with unlicensed guides. They are usually students and have no guiding experience at all.
As part of these groups, you’ll climb Triglav via Krma Valley, the easiest way to the summit. There are around 2000m of ascent and descent, which should take us around 12-18 hours over two days. Be prepared to start the adventure at 7AM on the first day and finish at 4PM on the second day. Of course the time of departure and return is not fixed (it may vary depending on the weather conditions) but it will stay around this schedule.
Krma Valley – 2 days
We start and finish the trek in Krma valley. We will sleep in Triglavski dom, from where we climb to the top. From there, we can descend via Planika hut, making a small circle.
Day 1: 5-7 h walking and 1500 m of altitude change.
Day 2: 3-5 h from the hut (Triglavski dom) to the top and return, plus 4 h down to the valley.
There is via ferrata (path equipped with wires and pitons) just from the hut to the top and return.
You may also be interested in a private climbing tour in Triglav. In that case I can offer you these climbing options.
And you can climb Triglav in winter as well. However, the only good option is to do it from Krma valley. You’ll find all the details on my special program of winter climbing in Mount Triglav.
If you have an interest in climbing this beautiful mountain, please get in touch with me. We will take the time to discuss the itinerary and the program!

Accommodation
If you look for an accommodation for the day before or after the ascent, I suggest you to go to Hotel Hotnik.
More info
The accommodation, meals and drinks are around 50€ per person. The hut is very comfortable and has blankets, sheets and mattresses.
This equipment list will help you while packing for the ascent of Mt Triglav. You don't need to have everything on the list. Technical equipment (helmet, harness…) is provided by me. The list is: harness, helmet, headlamp, warm clothing (fleece, etc.), waterproof jacket and trousers, gloves, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, shoes, poles, backpack (30 L), water bottle, medicine prescribed by your doctor, camera, energy bars, chocolates, other food for during the climb, Alpine Club membership card.
- There are limited options for renting boots in Slovenia, so I recommend that you bring your own. If you don't have them, I can send you some links to the rental shops (there is only one in Bohinj which has all sizes).
About the Guide
I am a UIAGM mountain guide, ski instructor and sports teacher and the current president of the Slovenian Mountain Guide Association.
I am still the only guide who can make a living working exclusively in Slovenia. I climb Triglav more than 25 times per year, which means I have climbed the most famous peak in my country over 200 times.
If you want to climb or ski in Slovenian mountains I am the right choice. I guide via ferrata, rock climbing, snow climbing, ice climbing, hikes, heliski, freeride skiing and ski touring.
Slovenia has good options for all of these activities, so you are welcome to take a look at my trips and find something for yourself. If you don't find anything let me know and I will see if I can help you!
I speak English. Ich sprache auch ein bischen Deutsch. Parla anche un pocho Italiano e abla tambien un po Espanol.
If I am not available to guide you, one of the super experienced guides in my team - Rok, Peter, Grega or Igor - will be your guide.

What People are Saying about -Mitja Šorn Guiding Team
- 69 reviews
We had two fantastic days at and around Triglav. The weather was perfect with almost no wind and a bright deep blue sky and it was a great experience to trek in the deep snow. Mitja did a solid job as a guide. He was knowledgeable and caring, but at the same time honest about the possibilities of the group. It is not the last time we visit the area.
Read reviewJens
Peter is an experienced pro. He is a nice guy and kept us entertained with stories from past adventures. He is also the \"safest guy on the mountain\". Could not recommend more highly.
Read reviewDave Insull
We have spent 2 awesome days on Mount Triglav in Slovenia together with Mitja. The weather was uncertain and there was still a lot of snow in some parts. If this adventure was a real success it is thanks to the professionalism of Mitja!
Read reviewAnne
Mitja led us up Mt. Triglav in September 2016 and we had an amazing time. Mitja and his company were exceptionally professional at every step of the way. The team answered all of our questions promptly and prepared us well for the hike. Throughout the two days, Mitja was an attentive, knowledgeable guide. There were four of us in the group with varying experience doing a hike like this, and Mitja ensured that we were all safe and in good order throughout. We couldn\'t believe how lucky we were to have such a knowledgeable, skilled, thoughtful guide leading us up Triglav and I would recommend Mitja and company to anyone. You could be in no better hands.

Mitja is an incredibly experienced climber that gave us great confidence in climbing a challenging peak for me and my brother. He was very accommodating and went over and above what\'s expected of him to ensure we had a memorable experience. Due to poor weather conditions he recommended we delay the start of our climb and instantly adjusted the itinerary to ensure we were not impacted whatsoever. He also took great photo shots as we were climbing the mountain!
Read reviewRoy
We had an unexpected change at the last minute;
Mitja was unavailable and thus his friend Rok Zalokar guided us.
Rok is an amazing guide! Everything went for the best.
He even went rock climbing with us the afternoon after the descent.

Mitja was a very professional guide! He made the trip to a top of the line experience. Good planing and we hade a great time together in the group.
Read reviewPatrick Jesenicnik
The trip is only recommended for people with at least some hiking experience.
It needs endurance and a reasonable amount of tread certainty.
It\'s an exciting hike and the more spectacular when you start the last climbing early morning at 5.00 am under a clear sky full with sparkling stars. Thanks Igor and Luca from the Mitja Sorn Team
Read reviewLucienne Vrijhoef
Igor was a very nice guide. He did a good job leading our group and making sure that the slower ones were taken care of. It would have been helpful to have him lead group introductions before we got started and also provide a small briefing of the timeline, itinerary, mileage, and how meals and payments would work. In the future, it would be a good idea to ensure the registrants have experience with mountain hiking and a general level of fitness. Two members of our group were clearly unprepared for what the trek would entail. Perhaps in the future, it would be good to either have the meals at the mountain hut included in the trip cost or allow the registrants to purchase food completely separately from the guide (instead of having the guide organize this). Both the hike and the summit climb were incredible! I appreciate Igor and Luca’s patience in ensuring the safest timing for summiting, and I also appreciate Igor allowing some of the group members to run ahead when some of the others were moving slowly. Overall, it was a great trip. I would recommend this to any of my hiker friends!

Vi havde Igor Kremser som guide. Han var meget kompetent, vidende og havde et godt humør.
Både voksne og vores 2 teenagere ville vælge Igor igen til enhver tid som vores guide. Turen op på Triglav er spændene, tilpas hård og overnatningen i hytten er en oplevelse værd. Vi er glade for, at vi havde købt de ting som stod på listen vi fik tilsendt. Specielt gode støvler, vandrestave, handsker og en god rygsæk anbefales. Der står i beskrivelsen, at Igor er aspirant - tag ikke fejl han er yderst professionel og en hyggelig fyr, at tilbringe et par dage med. Vi satte stor pris på, at han hentede os i Kranjska Gora i sin bil. Vi havde overvejer om en guide var nødvendig... det gør oplevelsen meget bedre og større . Tag en tur på Triglav med Igor - du vil ikke fortryde det

Our trip to the summit with guide Blaz was amazing! We had no experience but that did not matter at all. We had a great time, Blaz made us laugh and took us safely to the summit and back. Blaz was always in touch with the meteorologists and could tell what the weather was gonna do so he kept us out of thunder storms. One of the best things we have ever done. Thank you so much for this great experience!

Climbing with Mitja was such a great experience! There was still some snow on the mountain and there had been strong thunderstorms the day before we left, however Mitja was very reassuring and kept in regular contact leading up to the trip re details and weather forecast. We felt 100% safe trekking with him, and had the most amazing time!

I loved this trip! We had spectacular views of the moutains! The weather didn\'t permit us to hike Triglav. We got to see 4-5 other peaks with snowshoes. Talk about breathtaking! Mitja was wonderful guide. He was on time, funny stories, and you can tell he loves what he does, which hands down makes the trip that much wonderful! Highly reccomemnd him! I will be back to do Triglav!
Read reviewStaphanie Peacock
Climbing Mt. Triglav with Mitja and Roks was a truly enjoyable experience for me that I would cherish forever. They are extremely organized, helpful and full of humor that made the difficult journey to the top so easy. Even though I was the slowest in the group, they made sure that I reach safely to the destination and enjoy the trek thoroughly. Mitja\'s repeated advice on being relaxed and not to think much over the hurdles on the path while trekking was one of the valuable takeaways. And I thank them thousand times for offering such a memorable trip in Triglav. For those who are thinking of climbing Mt. Triglav, I can reccommend Mitja and Roks anytime as guides to have a safe and comfortable journey.
Read reviewBanashri
Mitja is a well qualified expert guide, jbut more than that, he’s a good people-person and risk manager. While he’s introducing you to the countryside during the steadily incling walk up the former glacier/Kemal valley, he’s also assessing each of the groups’ strengths and weaknesses, forming sub-groups based on the optimal mix and the weather conditions. Even though he does this twice a week in Summer, you can tell he loves his work and interacting with people. The when we’ve arrived at the 2000m hut, he switches into safety, security and risk manager mode behind the scenes to ensure the final 800m via-feratta ascent to the summit goes without a hitch and to ensure each ‘guest’ gets maximum outcomes. To do this he uses a team of guides (Rok, Igor, etc) who take 3/4 guests and rope you together for the final climb up Triglav. I have to say, while I have a fear of heights (yet I’ve parachuted and abseiled/respelled) and my butterflies and toes were tingling all the way up, I felt very safe and secure throughout. My grand daughter was also born that day so I yelled a welcome to the world message off the top of Triglav for her. What a great day on many levels. Thx Mitja and team
Read reviewAsh Pagett
Leaving climbing Mt Triglav until late 50s and my nervousness about heights are both understatements. However at all times with Mitja and his crew of expert full-time guides (Rok, Igor and another) I felt in highly experienced, safe and capable hands. We had perfect weather so walked to top hut near Triglav and summitted in one day. It was challenging, scary and highly rewarding. I was in a mixed age and abilities group of 13, some of whom were ill-prepared mentally (some delusional that they were going out for an easy two day Hill walk) and physically. But all made it to the top easily and triumphantly. Well done Mitja and guide crew. Thanks Ash
Read reviewAsh
It was the first day with “autumn weather “ since summer started. Mitja tried his best to make the right decision for us about when to go to the summit. We went the first day, unfortunately without a view from the summit but it was a good decision as the next day was very windy and freezing cold.
Gloves, hat, poles were provided by Mitja. He us on a different way back so we would still have a great view almost similar to the one on the top, this route was amazing! Thanks Mitja It was super!

I really enjoyed the the climb of Triglav from Krma valley with Mitja, he is an excellent leader with so much mountain knowledge, years of experience and so much patience! I joined a group of 7 other climbers so was a great way to meet like minded outdoors enthusiasts. It was my first time using the via ferrata system - a safe and fun way to summit and reaching the top of Triglav with the group was exilerating! I would definitely recommend Mijta and joining a group to climb Triglav.
Read reviewMarian
We started our climb from Krma valley. The hike to the mountain hut took us (group of 8) 5 hours. Mitja was really talkative answering all of our questions. He also hold a good pace and knew when a break was necessary. We reached the summit in the evening, but with other guide because 4 person per one guide was allowed. The trip was really enjoyable and the views were amazing. Also to note out that the price for the mountain hut is not included in the price showed on the webpage.

We had a wonderful trip up Mt Triglav with Marko. He was a fantastic guide, setting an excellent pace and looking after us all very well on the mountain and in the hut, bringing us our meals etc. He even played card games with us, and won them all, which my children thought was very funny!

Mitja is an excellent guide. The pace was nice and steady, not fast, and he made sure to not leave behind slower hikers. On the summit part where there are exposed and vertical areas, he made us feel very comfortable and before we knew it, we were on the top! He\'s a very friendly, well-spoken, interesting person to talk to, and it was nice doing the trip in a small group with people from many parts of the world. I would hire him again.

Read reviewCecile
Definitely would recommend. I had a unique situation where I stupidly gave Mitja the wrong address to pick me up in the morning for the hike. I didn\'t have an activated phone with me nor was I near wifi, but Mitja put in way more effort, than I ever would, to get a hold of me in order to set me up with another guide that was heading up to the hut later that day. My hike up the the hut with our other guide Igor was awesome, he answered all my questions and gave me lots of advice for travelling within Slovenia.
Mitja was super accommodating, knowledgeable and chill. 10/10 must do, must see.
Read reviewRyan Armstrong
At the end I had to change the dates due to personal matters and Mitja couldn\'t guide me, but Peter did instead. The climb was absolutely great! We went up to the summit on the same day. The weather conditions changed a lot in less than 1 hour... we had strong wind, rain, hale and even a thunderstorm! Peter was a great guide and had everything under control, we felt very safe during the whole experience. I will never forget it! and I highly recommend it! Thanks guys!!
Read reviewJesus Gonzales
I have no comments on the guide. We were passed around between what ended up being 3 guides. I really enjoyed the climb, but I felt a bit duped and undervalued. I signed up with 1 guide after reading his profile. Then I was passed to a 2nd guide and then finally a 3rd guide with very little warning. He ended up being great, but it didn\'t make me feel valued. Also, I thought I had paid for the mountain hut already in the price but apparently it wasn\'t included. A bit of an unpleasant surprise.
The rating I would give is a 4 out of 5 for the guide we had, Danilo.
I will absolutely still consider Explore-Share for future adventures, so my experience wasn\'t soured that much.

It\'s an experience I will remember for a long time and has fuelled my thirst for more adventures!

The experience was amazing. Mitja was very professional , supportive and friendly. My group hiked through snow, which was challenging but completely rewarding. The stay in the mountain hut was fun and the staff were relaxed and welcoming. We climbed the summit the following morning and were lucky enough to have perfect weather making the views amazing. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is reasonably fit seeking a challenge. (Kerry the UK)

The trip is amazing, Mitja is the best guide ever, his life is dedicated to nature and mountains and he transmits it all the time making you feel a lot of love for Triglav. The acommodations are more than impresive its like a luxury hotel in the middle of nowhere. It was my first mountain climbing ever and he made it possible even for beguinners and well... I cant say anything about Triglav but awesome is a beautiful mountain and been at the top is a life experience
Read reviewLydia de la Rosa
Mitja is a great guide encouraging but cautious when appropriate. In our case that meant we did not do the final leg to the summit because of looming thinderstorms and the risk of lightening strikes. Despite this our group had a great experience on what is a very impressive and beautiful mountain. The night at the refuge hut near the summit was also memorable and very convivial.

Mitja is very experienced with Mt Triglav, who gave us useful tips along the way to make the climb more doable. At the higher parts of the mountain where it was still snow covered, Mitja took care to dig deep little steps in the snow so that we could safely follow him. When we reached our hut at the end of the first day, Mitja told us that snow was still covering the via feratta towards the top of Triglav, and he gave us the option of taking a less dangerous path that would also give us a similar experience of walking on the mountain ridges for the next day, instead of ascending to the top. Hence even though we regrettably did not make it all the way up to the top, we really enjoyed the second day\'s descent, with parts where we slid down the snow in pure glee! We will definitely be back at a better season next time, and will make it to the top for sure!

While he’s introducing you to the countryside during the steadily incling walk up the former glacier/Kemal valley, he’s also assessing each of the groups’ strengths and weaknesses, forming sub-groups based on the optimal mix and the weather conditions. Even though he does this twice a week in Summer, you can tell he loves his work and interacting with people. The when we’ve arrived at the 2000m hut, he switches into safety, security and risk manager mode behind the scenes to ensure the final 800m via-feratta ascent to the summit goes without a hitch and to ensure each ‘guest’ gets maximum outcomes. To do this he uses a team of guides (Rok, Igor, etc) who take 3/4 guests and rope you together for the final climb up Triglav. I have to say, while I have a fear of heights (yet I’ve parachuted and abseiled/respelled) and my butterflies and toes were tingling all the way up, I felt very safe and secure throughout. My grand daughter was also born that day so I yelled a welcome to the world message off the top of Triglav for her. What a great day on many levels. Thx Mitja and team

Leaving climbing Mt Triglav until late 50s and my nervousness about heights are both understatements. However at all times with Mitja and his crew of expert full-time guides (Rok, Igor and another) I felt in highly experienced, safe and capable hands. We had perfect weather so walked to top hut near Triglav and summitted in one day. It was challenging, scary and highly rewarding. I was in a mixed age and abilities group of 13, some of whom were ill-prepared mentally (some delusional that they were going out for an easy two day Hill walk) and physically. But all made it to the top easily and triumphantly. Well done Mitja and guide crew. Thanks Ash

It was the first day with “autumn weather “ since summer started. Mitja tried his best to make the right decision for us about when to go to the summit. We went the first day, unfortunately without a view from the summit but it was a good decision as the next day was very windy and freezing cold.
Gloves, hat, poles were provided by Mitja. He us on a different way back so we would still have a great view almost similar to the one on the top, this route was amazing! Thanks Mitja It was super!

I had an amazing time climbing Triglav; the weather was perfect on both days, the scenery from the valley to the summit is just outstanding, and Mitja was an awesome guide.

I really enjoyed the the climb of Triglav from Krma valley with Mitja, he is an excellent leader with so much mountain knowledge, years of experience and so much patience! I joined a group of 7 other climbers so was a great way to meet like minded outdoors enthusiasts. It was my first time using the via ferrata system - a safe and fun way to summit and reaching the top of Triglav with the group was exilerating! I would definitely recommend Mijta and joining a group to climb Triglav.

We started our climb from Krma valley. The hike to the mountain hut took us (group of 8) 5 hours. Mitja was really talkative answering all of our questions. He also hold a good pace and knew when a break was necessary. We reached the summit in the evening, but with other guide because 4 person per one guide was allowed. The trip was really enjoyable and the views were amazing. Also to note out that the price for the mountain hut is not included in the price showed on the webpage.

We had a wonderful trip up Mt Triglav with Marko. He was a fantastic guide, setting an excellent pace and looking after us all very well on the mountain and in the hut, bringing us our meals etc. He even played card games with us, and won them all, which my children thought was very funny!

The whole experience from top to bottom was amazing. Mitja and Igor were super accommodating, even trusting my friend and I to go up for a sunrise hike. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip, would highly recommend!

Mitja is an excellent guide. The pace was nice and steady, not fast, and he made sure to not leave behind slower hikers. On the summit part where there are exposed and vertical areas, he made us feel very comfortable and before we knew it, we were on the top! He\'s a very friendly, well-spoken, interesting person to talk to, and it was nice doing the trip in a small group with people from many parts of the world. I would hire him again.

This trip was completely amazing! Mitja is a really good guide and we can totally trust him during the hike.
I recommend this trip and Mitja as guide to climb Mount Triglav in Slovenia!
Read reviewCecile
Definitely would recommend. I had a unique situation where I stupidly gave Mitja the wrong address to pick me up in the morning for the hike. I didn\'t have an activated phone with me nor was I near wifi, but Mitja put in way more effort, than I ever would, to get a hold of me in order to set me up with another guide that was heading up to the hut later that day. My hike up the the hut with our other guide Igor was awesome, he answered all my questions and gave me lots of advice for travelling within Slovenia.
Mitja was super accommodating, knowledgeable and chill. 10/10 must do, must see.

At the end I had to change the dates due to personal matters and Mitja couldn\'t guide me, but Peter did instead. The climb was absolutely great! We went up to the summit on the same day. The weather conditions changed a lot in less than 1 hour... we had strong wind, rain, hale and even a thunderstorm! Peter was a great guide and had everything under control, we felt very safe during the whole experience. I will never forget it! and I highly recommend it! Thanks guys!!

I have no comments on the guide. We were passed around between what ended up being 3 guides. I really enjoyed the climb, but I felt a bit duped and undervalued. I signed up with 1 guide after reading his profile. Then I was passed to a 2nd guide and then finally a 3rd guide with very little warning. He ended up being great, but it didn\'t make me feel valued. Also, I thought I had paid for the mountain hut already in the price but apparently it wasn\'t included. A bit of an unpleasant surprise.
The rating I would give is a 4 out of 5 for the guide we had, Danilo.
I will absolutely still consider Explore-Share for future adventures, so my experience wasn\'t soured that much.

The climb was great in every way! Luka was a amazing guide and after some climbing suggested that we should do another route on Triglav than the one I booked, which was super fun and Im happy it was possible and suggested. 5/5!!

The Mount Triglav climb was a fantastic experience and one I would thoroughly recommend. Our guide Mitja was excellent - very experienced and knows Triglav like the back of his hand! Safety was a top priority and it always felt like we were in safe hands. My fellow climbers in the group were a great bunch. We got lucky with the weather, so the views were spectacular. It\'s an experience I will remember for a long time and has fuelled my thirst for more adventures!

Weather was turning so we decided to push to the summit in one day...8.5 hours from Krma valley, up to hut, up to summit, back to hut. Rok is so great! I like a guide who moves fast. Thank you!!!!

Simply outstanding. I came all the way from Australia and boy was it worth it. The expertise and friendliness of Mirja and Marco made everyone feel comfortable, even when facing probably one of the scariest but best experiences. 10/10 would recommend, we even got to see panoramic views of Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria.

The experience was amazing. Mitja was very professional , supportive and friendly. My group hiked through snow, which was challenging but completely rewarding. The stay in the mountain hut was fun and the staff were relaxed and welcoming. We climbed the summit the following morning and were lucky enough to have perfect weather making the views amazing. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is reasonably fit seeking a challenge. (Kerry the UK)

The trip is amazing, Mitja is the best guide ever, his life is dedicated to nature and mountains and he transmits it all the time making you feel a lot of love for Triglav. The acommodations are more than impresive its like a luxury hotel in the middle of nowhere. It was my first mountain climbing ever and he made it possible even for beguinners and well... I cant say anything about Triglav but awesome is a beautiful mountain and been at the top is a life experience
Read reviewLydia de la Rosa
Mitja is a great guide encouraging but cautious when appropriate. In our case that meant we did not do the final leg to the summit because of looming thinderstorms and the risk of lightening strikes. Despite this our group had a great experience on what is a very impressive and beautiful mountain. The night at the refuge hut near the summit was also memorable and very convivial.

Our guide (Cveto) was excellent - patient, courtieous, careful with times.
He and the firm were flexible when we asked for a last minute postponement.
It was a difficult but extremely rewarding experience.
Thank you very much!!

Mitja is everything one could ask for in a guide: kind, knowledgable, friendly, and very attentive to his clients and their levels of comfort. He is loaded with all kinds of interesting facts and climbing stories and is always wearing a smile.

There was a misunderstanding from Mitjas part regarding dates and in the end he didn\'t guide us. That was the negative point and something like that cannot happen again. Mijta recommended his friend Borut Naglič who provided us an awesome and safe ascent to Triglav.

Mitja is very experienced with Mt Triglav, who gave us useful tips along the way to make the climb more doable. At the higher parts of the mountain where it was still snow covered, Mitja took care to dig deep little steps in the snow so that we could safely follow him. When we reached our hut at the end of the first day, Mitja told us that snow was still covering the via feratta towards the top of Triglav, and he gave us the option of taking a less dangerous path that would also give us a similar experience of walking on the mountain ridges for the next day, instead of ascending to the top. Hence even though we regrettably did not make it all the way up to the top, we really enjoyed the second day\'s descent, with parts where we slid down the snow in pure glee! We will definitely be back at a better season next time, and will make it to the top for sure!

We had two fantastic days at and around Triglav. The weather was perfect with almost no wind and a bright deep blue sky and it was a great experience to trek in the deep snow. Mitja did a solid job as a guide. He was knowledgeable and caring, but at the same time honest about the possibilities of the group. It is not the last time we visit the area.

We have spent 2 awesome days on Mount Triglav in Slovenia together with Mitja. The weather was uncertain and there was still a lot of snow in some parts. If this adventure was a real success it is thanks to the professionalism of Mitja!

Mitja led us up Mt. Triglav in September 2016 and we had an amazing time. Mitja and his company were exceptionally professional at every step of the way. The team answered all of our questions promptly and prepared us well for the hike. Throughout the two days, Mitja was an attentive, knowledgeable guide. There were four of us in the group with varying experience doing a hike like this, and Mitja ensured that we were all safe and in good order throughout. We couldn\'t believe how lucky we were to have such a knowledgeable, skilled, thoughtful guide leading us up Triglav and I would recommend Mitja and company to anyone. You could be in no better hands.

Mitja is an incredibly experienced climber that gave us great confidence in climbing a challenging peak for me and my brother. He was very accommodating and went over and above what\'s expected of him to ensure we had a memorable experience. Due to poor weather conditions he recommended we delay the start of our climb and instantly adjusted the itinerary to ensure we were not impacted whatsoever. He also took great photo shots as we were climbing the mountain!
