I booked this excursion with NCL and it's listed as Level #2 difficulty. I asked them how difficult is it and could not get a straight answer. I want to make sure I am capable of doing this. I have RSD which is a nerve disease because a 1000 pound filing cabinet fell on my foot and crushed it as well as the nerves. Therefore, I cannot walk with great balance. I'm 50 and not in the best shape (nice way of saying overweight: lol). If I'm on my feet long or walk too much they swell up w/pain. So, if anyone knows, is this hard to do. They give you some kind of spikes to put around your boots to help avoid slipping. Just how much would I be walking and is it that slippery with those spikes? Is it hard to get on & off sled? does the sled go fast? Ladies, is there a bathroom LOL? Any info would be helpful. Sorry so many questions but I have a lot o deal with. Thanks for the patience everyone :)

You don't get crampons with this "tour". There is walking involves and standing around, you will have to get in/out of the basket. Contact the vendor direct TEMSCO for more details. With your health descriptions I would think this isn't a tour for you?
