Is this trip for me?

The hiking on this trip is moderate - challenging and you should be fairly fit. 
Terrain is rocky and boggy on some of the trails and the last section of the hike to the base of the Towers is a clamber over glacial moraine. 
No experience is necessary for the ice hiking or kayaking but you should be fairly adventurous and most importantly have a flexible attitude as weather sometimes scuppers our plans. 
As this is a camping departure, you should also be used to travelling in remote areas. Please make sure you pack accordingly. 
Age Limit: We can accept clients between the ages of 12 and 70 on this trip. Younger hikers are welcome but we will suggest a custom family departure. Older hikers are also welcome to join us but we reserve the right to request completion of a medical suitability questionnaire.
Note for small groups of 2-3 clients, we reserve the right to take meals in the refugios
