Trip Description
Climb Iliniza Sur
Iliniza Sur (5246m/17,211ft) it’s the sixth highest mountain in the country southwest of Quito near the El Chaupi Village.
The Iliniza southern peak has deglaciation changes caused by global warming, affecting its ice conditions, and is thus now reserved for experienced ice climbers. Hence, expertise on ice techniques is requested. The South peak suggests several challenging and demanding routes. This 2-day climb start at night from Nuevos Horizontes refuge at an altitude of 4700m.
