Climbing Experiences

Pico Cristóbal Colón (~5,700 m), Colombia's highest peak in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta—a glaciated massif rising close to the Caribbean Sea. Ascents are rare: access is often restricted by indigenous communities (Arhuaco/Kogi), requiring long expeditions and glacier skills. Climbers highlight acclimatization, indigenous permits, and new technical lines on the north/south faces.
