I will. Indeed, I will do that during the trip I'm doing with my wife after DebConf (http://www.perrier.eu.org/weblog/2012/05/15#nicaragua-trip). Here is what I can share, learned from the tour operator who organizes our trip: - Momotombo (1258m) : might be the nicest but probably one of the thoughest. Absolutely needs a guide because on a private property. We were considering going to this one, but would be too difficult and nearly enforce that I do the climb alone with the guide. - Cerro Negro (728m): we'll hike this one together. It's one of the most accessible ones. - Concepcion (on Ometepe Island, 1600m). Climbing (or trying to climb) this one will be my Nicaragua marathon..:-). I'll do that alone with a guide while Elisabeth rests. I deeply hope that no clouds (which might be tricky) nor volcanic activity will prevent me to reach the top. - Maderas: we might go there, but that will be the day after Concepcion..:-). On most volcanos, hiring a local guide might be recommended. Also, given the season, I guess that leaving VERY early is mandatory. _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
