Climb iliniza north 16,818 ft/5.126 m!

Trip Description
The Iliniza north is a pick rocky without permanent snow. It’s an easy climb with some scramble – passages, the last meters may be a bit difficult, due to loose rocks. It can be climbed within 2 days or 1 day and as mentioned above is very suitable to get used to altitude. Throughout the trip we pass a night at the refuge at a height of 4650 m in order to start the climb at the break of dawn.
