Exclusive mountain climbing program "Climbing Tocllaraju Normal route" with MCS AlexClimb Guides
Popular among trekkers and not very experienced mountaineers Ishinca valley in the Cordillera Blanca in Peru, is closed at the upper part by the mountain of beautiful pyramid shape and complicated name - Tocllaraju, which translates from Quechua language as mountain-lasso. Analogy is quite difficult to understand, but the view of this mountain is really fascinating - the perfect ice slopes on the west side of the mountain are crowned on the Summit by traditional for that mountain system "ice mushroom", which glows at sunset with all the colors of flame.
Tocllaraju considered more serious object for climbing than its nearest neighbors - Urus and Ishinca, which are very popular among novice climbers. But Tocllaraju not many people dare to attempt - the climbing route of Tocllaraju is not very complicated, but still requires certain skills - in the upper part of the route there are some pretty steep sections of ice. Overall, the climbing route of Tocllaraju is ideal as a good climbing program for those who want to try their hand at technical ice climbing. In addition, the Summit of Tocllaraju, the height of which is a bit over than 6,000 meters very well helps to refresh the skills of ice climbing and dealing with altitude on the slopes of average steepness - these skills may well be needed for the more challenging mountain climbs.
This 5-day program "Mountain climbing in Cordillera Blanca, Peru, climbing Tocllaraju" is designed for people who have prior experience in mountain climbing and who want to try themselves at technical mountain climbing route. That is highly recommended to attach to the Tocllaraju climbing program the acclimatization part - climbing easier mountains as Ishinca, Urus.

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.
