Best Time to Climb

People usually take climbs during the December to March period.

Ojos del Salado has varying weather conditions, so it is best to prepare and take the necessary safety measures. A warm climbing condition can also be a windy one. Do not get complacent when the conditions are sunny and warm. Weather changes rapidly so make sure you have the suitable climbing apparel. Moreover, protect your hands and face.
