As no one has climbed the mountain in 20 years at least, as far as I can tell, due to the two somewhat related issues of FARQ presence and the ‘Sacredness’ issue, the biggest problem in making it to the top of Pico Cristobal Colon is not how to climb it, as that is the fun dilemma of the climbers (although gasping for air about 3/4 up they might beg to differ that there could be any bigger problems in the world), the great dilemma here is the combination of human and geographic influences that make the approach to the likely south side base camp at The 5 Blue Lakes. Here is a list of obvious options I have dreamed up with no input from anyone with experience in the range other than the Military, although the time is coming soon to try to reach some of these people:
1. The Classic Route, from Sea to Summit, along the Don Diego and Palomino watersheds.
2. From Minca
3. The Long Valleys from Guatepuri
4. Over Hill and Dale from Nuagaskimake
5. Flying the friendly skies to the 5 Blue Lakes
