Difficulty: High

Adventure/mountaineering/overland trip, with camps, hikes, and strenuous climbs. The two 6000 summits proposed for this expedition are technically accessible. Still, the altitude, the cold, and the wind can make this ascent strenuous. A good physical shape is a must, and you will need previous experience in similar mountains. There are two high camps for the climb of the Pissis volcano. On the days of the ascent to the high camps and back, you will need to bring a big backpack, sharing with the guides loads of tents, fuel, and food. Please keep in mind that it is possible to hire a porter for that part of the expedition. Otherwise, all along the expedition, for all hikes and climbs, you will be carrying only your small daypack with some warm clothes, water, and your box lunch.
