All that to say that the experience I gained through our Sierra Nevada experience turned out to be very valuable for Aconcagua. Richard, we did get the face mask (cold avenger) and the icebreaker gear to shield us against the -25°C plus 60km/h wind chill factor. Thank you. Javier, your spirit and mantra traveled with us - 'ENJOY every step of the way'…

I would just like you to know that we had an amazing time in the mountains, we have created memories that will live with us forever. We often tell friends or reminisce as a family at the things we did. You and Pepe provided an amazing experience for us as a family, one that we will treasure forever! My next job is to print some of the amazing pictures to canvas and then to keep looking for cheap flights to Granada! Mark and I would love to meet you again for a drink in lanjaron and will definitely visit and take a trip in the mountains again.

My tactics going only in low winds and also using a satellite messenger for receiving the weather forecast proved to be essential for getting through the icefield without risking to loose the tent! (This was advised by Richard from Spanish Highs to me! So very helpful and maybe life-saving advice!)

I have holidayed with Spanish Highs 5 times. The guides are professional and really care about your enjoyment while also being very aware for your safety. Not only is there complete flexibility around dates of travel, the walks are tailored made to suit you - duration, altitude, low level, mid or high level. The guides are really good company, will also guide you through the local tapas bars if you wish, and they know the area as they live there. Wherever you choose to go, you will have a fabulous experience of inland Spain, a special place...enjoy

We had such a lovely time on the mountain and loved both the guides, thanks very much for organising. The sunset was indeed incredible on the Sunday and loved the fact that you could see across to Morrocco.

Richard and Kiersten, your love and passion for the mountains will always inspire me! Thank you so much!! Spanish Highs Mountain Guides got 2014 started with a bang.. nothing like the thrill of nature.. so so wild at heart

Wonderful to catch up and your guidance and hospitality was again, as always, both superb and much appreciated. Lovely time up there in the Sierra's

Last night in Sierra Nevada, home for me tomorrow! Good luck with your 2/3 day trek up Alcazaba boys, thanks Richard Hartley and Spanish Highs for a great time!
Brett Wakeley (Patagonian Icecap)
Still, my most memorable adventure to date, and largely thanks to your good leadership and an incredible team. Anyone "half thinking" of doing this should pull their finger out and do it, it's the closest you'll get to a polar experience.

What a great trip, Jon and I really enjoyed it and it’ll give us some fantastic memories (albeit some painful ones too!) for a long time. Really appreciate all your efforts in hosting and organising everything for us, so thank you very much. It was certainly tough, but it’s very true that you do get out what you put in. Anyway, thanks again for a really memorable experience

Thanks for these photos and for leading us on a great weekend. What a challenge! Its something we'll remember for a long time. I look on my freezer in the kitchen in a whole new light now.
