Thanks, actually you dont need that much of equipment, it is possible to do it without ice pick's or crampons, it is difficult because of the different types of terrain you find on the way
There is one guy in the country that climb this mountain in 5 hours or so, he does the entire travel in just hours, is like going to the park for him, he has been seen in short pants with a small backpack doing the whole trip, many of my friends have claimed that it is true, but i dont remember his name right now, for sure it is way faster to do the trip alone, but just hours, damn, i dont believe it yet
5 hours - wow! My biggest problem would be the altitude. I'd need to take it slowly because of that.
