Iliniza Norte is one of the easier mountains with more than 5.000 m height. Next to the normal route, there is the option to ascent Iliniza Norte via its ridge - where it gets trickier. The tour is up to grade 6 as per UIAA scale and requires techniques for ridge climbing.

The tour can be arranged for any day.
