Yes, while this is a trip for climbers, people with no experience can join too.

We climb in half-day or full-day sessions, making the most of the days. 

Generally we split up into cars. Let us know if you have one. We split travel costs. The idea is to be there late Friday, to get an early start on Saturday. 

In mountain-refuge-style domes.

Check out the section where you can see what you need to bring. A trekking backpack, well-fitted trekking footwear, and another pair are the main items. 

It's not necessary, we include harness + helmet + rope and carabiners, belay plate, cordelettes, etc. 

During the activity we eat quick-digesting, energizing food such as fruit, bars, nougat, nuts, etc. At midday, cold food to keep going, such as sandwiches, savory pies, empanadas, salads, etc. At night a hearty, hot dish such as pasta with sauce, lentil stew, or even an asado (barbecue).
