Description

Known as the Matterhorn of the South, Mount Aspiring (3,033m) in the Southern Alps is an amazing peak. And, on this 6-day adventure, you will get to make your way up the great mountain to its beautiful summit.

There are several routes that can be taken to the pinnacle of Mount Aspiring. Each route offers its own unique journey, and many of the routes involve climbing on alpine rock, snow and ice. However, based on your skill level, weather conditions and personal preferences, we will choose the best route for you.

The approach to the mountain will take place by way of the grassy flats of the Matukituki Valley. We will make our way through beech forest and then go up to the Bevan Col and go across the Bonar Glacier. Thus providing you with an amazing adventure just getting to Mount Aspiring. From there, we will climb to the summit, where you can bask in beautiful views of the New Zealand landscape. Moreover, you will get to spend your nights in comfortable mountain huts.

Participants on this trip should be in good physical condition. You should also have prior climbing experience.

If you are looking for a great climbing adventure in New Zealand, you can’t do much better than scaling Mount Aspiring. To join me on this trip, please send a request.

I also offer a great, full day ski touring trip in New Zealand at Wanaka that you can enjoy here.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
