Located in the region of Aragón, it is one of the most famous peaks in the Pyrenees, together with Monte Perdido.

Mountain Guide
I love what I do and love to transmit my passion while guiding.
After touring the world fulfilling my dreams, I have put together all the knowledge gained and a strong background as a mountain guide to become one of the most versatile, dedicated and professional guides in the Pyrenees.
My resume has technical training in mountain medicine, snow studies, search and rescue complete training, meteorology and botany.
I spend the winters enjoying the unique snow conditions in the Aran Valley, as a ski touring and freeride Guide, and summers climbing the countless areas of excellent rock, either granite, limestone or conglomerate in the Pyrenees. I also spend a lot of time in Iceland during the summer guiding my friends and clients across these incredible landscapes.
While traveling the world, I make every effort to show the beauty of the landscapes, the quality of the rock and the best snow in the Pyrenees to everyone who wants to check them out.
Please get in touch with me if you want to discover the Pyrenees!

Rhys
The whole process has been excellent, the communication from our guide Roger was brilliant, very clear throughout. We undertook the climb as a group of 4, Roger's knowledge of the mountain and the area is superb, excellent mountain guide, trip of a lifetime and would fully recommend both the trip and Roger as a guide.
Hsiao
There is not only 2 days 1 night, the consideration from the professional guides started since I booked the activity. Thanks to both Roger and Ruth, that we had wonderful and unforgettable snow hiking experience.

It's a long slog of a climb, but doable as long as you're reasonably fit (but you don't need to be an Olympic athlete). The views are stunning. The Puente (bridge) de Mahoma is mentally tough with steep drops either side and some uncomfortable climbs. I'd strongly recommend using a local guide as they help you with the planning, kit and techniques, they share knowledge of the surrounding area that you wouldn't get otherwise and they help you over the more challenging stretches
