About Northern Circuit Route
The Northern Circuit is the longest and also the most remote
route. The longer itinerary means that it has a good acclimatization profile. You can naturally "walk high,
sleep low" which helps with acclimatization.
Even though you don't have to climb the Great Barranco Wall on this route, you will still have
a tough summit night approaching via Gilman's Point. You will be trekking for long periods of
time so a good level of fitness and stamina is recommended.
