What people are saying about Mountaineering Logistics
Lalo was such a great guide. Getting up the glacier was difficult and slow but he was very patient, gave great advice, and helped us summit and descend safely! Such a great experience and would definitely use him as a guide again in the future.
I keep thinking what can I say about this guy.. You’re about to meet the brother you always wanted someone who is willing to play all day always ahead taking care of you without taking away the fun! Honest, Humble, Kind, Smart and mutant strong.
