A special thanks to guide Maximo Kausch and his team at Andes Specialists, whose work on the mountain is unparalleled. Their incredible expertise secured a summit push and success for many, despite sub-par weather with very strong winds. I’m also grateful to guide Angel Armesto, who ensured I had the proper acclimatization before my second summit attempt—without him, reaching the summit wouldn’t have been possible. I hold both guides in high regard and hope to climb with them again. Additionally, I extend my thanks to the climbing team from Extreme Treks—Ryan Pyle, Chad Ingraham, Jesse Rosenberg, and Caio Vilela—as well as Mahmoud Amer and everyone else who made this journey unforgettable.
The expedition to Ojos was very good indeed. Everything went exactly as planned—from the seamless organization and well-thought-out logistics to the fun activities throughout the trip. The entire experience was enhanced by the high spirits of everyone involved and the way we all connected with the mountain. The natural beauty of the landscape combined with the team’s positive energy created an unforgettable adventure. I would gladly join another expedition like this at any time, and I truly recommend it to anyone seeking a well-organized, enjoyable, and inspiring outdoor experience.
The expedition was led superbly by Max and Edu, who cared for the whole team. The tents were solid and expertly secured to withstand high winds. Despite a few issues with the mules, every problem was swiftly overcome. The group was fantastic, and I was extremely happy and satisfied with the experience.
