Mount Ishinca Summit Climb
This is your summit day for a full push up the mountain. You'll climb a good trail across the moraine heading toward the glacier. The glacier section itself isn't particularly steep until those final 50 meters to the top, though some years can bring steeper sections or hard ice depending on conditions. After reaching the summit, you descend the same way back to Base Camp. Plan on 10 to 12 hours of activity.

Mount Urus Ascent
Today you're going after Urus by heading up the west face along a sloped route. You'll cross a ridge through large rock formations on the moraine until hitting the glacier. Once on snow and ice, you'll spend about an hour climbing before moving onto easier moraine terrain for the last 50 minutes to the summit. The descent back to camp is steep. Altogether this takes roughly 7 hours.
