Exclusive mountain climbing program "Climbing Ishinca and Urus" with MCS AlexClimb Guides
Conveniently located and technically not complicated mountains Urus Este and Ishinca are perfect climbing objects for beginners as comparably easy but in the same time quite high mountains. Urus and Ishinca both are higher than 5000 meters (5420 and 5530 consequently), which in the equatorial zone corresponds with altitude 4200 - 4700 m in our moderate latitudes. That means, that the oxygen level in Peruvian Andes is relatively higher on the same altitudes than for example in Eurasia. All this is ideal for getting the basic altitude experience, without serious physical loads connected with long stay in the high altitude conditions.
Urus Este as well as Ishinca can be climbed in one day, the climb begins from the comfortable Base Camp at the altitude 4300 m (alpine meadows zone). Technically both mountains are not complicated, the rope is to be used for Ishinca climb only, as the route crosses the snow covered glacier (moving roped). There are stunning views of all the High Part of Cordillera Blanca from the summits of Urus and Ishinca. In the good weather you will enjoy the views of all the majestic tops of Huascaran, Pisco, Huandoy, Tocllaraju, Ranrapalca.
This 5-day program "Mountain climbing in Cordillera Blanca, Peru, climbing Ishinca and Urus" is designed for people who have no prior experience in mountain climbing and who want to try themselves at mountain climbing route.

Our Principles
AlexClimb Rule #1 - Safety First
From the very beginning of our activity, here nearly 16 years, the first Principle of work of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb is the Safety Priority. On the basis of this Principle all process of training is based, all programs and rounds are developed and carried out only within this main principle. We consider that at professional approach to development of programs, at personal discipline and correctly put motivation - occupations by mountaineering and rock-climbing are COMPLETELY safe. And from the return - all troubles and accidents in our sport come from nonprofessionalism, from ignorance or neglect by elementary standards of safety, from irrational motivation, from revaluation of own forces and opportunities. All these prerequisites we COMPLETELY EXCLUDE in our work - ours Rock-climbing, Ice climbing and Mountaineering are based on one Principle - the Safety Priority. In rock-climbing, mountaineering and ice climbing, the Priority of Safety of MCS AlexClimb-is your personal security and comfort irrespective of, than we are engaged - we train muscles and we work technology of the movement in the sports hall and on the rock climbing wall, we make the way through snowstorm to top or we relax on golden sand of the Caribbean beach after hot day of trainings on rocks. The Safety priority - the main credo of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb.
AlexClimb Rule #2 - Leave No Trace
Closely interacting with Nature, working with the active programs in mountains, woods, lakes and rivers, we perfectly understand the importance of carefull and respectfull bahavior towards the Nature, for its resources. From the very beginning of our outdoor-activity we adopted rules of Leave No Trace technique - the standard of behavior of the person accepted in all the civilized world in relation to environment and especially - to the wild nature. After all on the relation of people to the nature near which they exist, itself can draw dalekoidushchy conclusions on the relation of these people to... Where and as we didn't travel - we don't reserve any garbage, we try to reduce whenever possible our influence on environment to a minimum. We clear earlier zagryazyonny tourist parking of the left garbage, we take out and we take out to utilization places that to us other people left there. We consider that only thus, at personal individual consciousness of each citizen, each tourist, climber or autotraveller, we will be able to keep the nature surrounding us in its state, natural, suitable for life, - in it pledge of the healthy future for ourselves and our children.
