Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Rooms were basic in the best way — dry, warm, and right where we needed them. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Solid operator.

Pace was set for the fastest people in the group and it made the middle days hard.
