At 52, Chris was the oldest member of the party, yet he was the first amateur to step onto the top. Chris considered this noteworthy precisely because it was accomplished by an ordinary middle-aged person in ordinary physical condition, not a young superman or woman. Today Chris and Mauricio's greatest desire is to share the life-changing beauty, drama, and personal challenge of climbing in the Andes with you. We'd like to help make that possible by providing a structured introduction to climbing in the Andes, with an emphasis on safety and supervision. Twelve days of sightseeing on the coast and a guided climbing expedition in the Santiago area mountains.
Cost includes all in-country transportation, accommodations, meals, equipment and guide fees.
