The crisp mountain air carries the scent of pine and alpine vegetation, enhancing the immersive experience.

The Experience Participants will ascend via pre-equipped or traditional routes using harness, helmet, and climbing shoes.

Route difficulty and duration are tailored to small groups, emphasizing safety and skill development.
