Report
I've been on El Misti several times over the past few years. This year I arrived well acclimatized, having already spent a good amount of time in the high mountains beforehand.
As on previous attempts, I started during the night - partly to escape the intense sun, partly to leave enough buffer at the end to get back down to Arequipa in daylight.
I carried less than last time. There's no opportunity to resupply anywhere along the route, so everything went with me from the start.
Everything went smoothly and I hit no snow or ice on the route this year. Optimal conditions.
