It is a technical and difficult mountain to climb, with steep hard ice that can be mixed with deep unstable soft snow, and several serious ice fields and is only recommended for experienced and safe climbers. The two routes to climb Artesonraju are: - Through the Parón South Valley East Ridge 5 days - Via Santa Cruz del Valle del Norte East Ridge 6 days. Artesonraju conditions are often difficult and unstable. In general, each year the route on one of the sides proves to be dangerous with a high risk of avalanche and climbing, only the alternative route is attempted.
