About Emmanuel

Emmanuel started as a porter at nineteen and worked his way up to lead guide over fifteen years on the mountain. He runs a slower ascent schedule than most operators quote, because his real number to protect is the summit success rate, not the trip length. He speaks openly about turning clients back when altitude symptoms don't clear.

5.0

Emmanuel's pole pole pacing is the reason I summited. He read my altitude symptoms better than I could.

5.0

Incredibly experienced. Never once felt unsafe, even on the Barranco Wall.

4.0

Great guide, though I'd recommend the 6-day route instead of 5 for acclimatisation — he actually told us this himself.
