No technical climbing skills are required but a reasonable level of fitness is required to make the trip more enjoyable.

What to Pack Guests should bring lightweight hiking shoes or boots, broad brimmed sun hats, sunglasses, layered clothing, reusable water bottle(s), a hiking day pack and hiking poles (optional)
Weather & Altitude While the itinerary is laid out below, we are at the mercy of the weather and so reserve the right to adjust the program as necessary.

Everyone reacts differently to altitude and so if you do have any health issues you should check with your doctor that this trip is suitable for you.
