Well-maintained trails: Enjoy well-defined paths and increased availability of services.

Cons:

Crowds: Be prepared for larger groups of climbers and potentially longer wait times.

Higher prices: Accommodation and other services may be more expensive during peak season.

Shoulder Season (March to May, September to November)

Pros:

Fewer crowds: Enjoy a more peaceful and intimate experience.

Lower prices: Save money on accommodation and other expenses.

Pleasant weather: Still enjoy comfortable conditions with fewer crowds.
