Sincholagua is one of the least frequently climbed mountains in Ecuador because it is difficult to access and less well known compared to other mountains and volcanoes in the country.
There is also a long hike to access it compared to other volcanoes like Pichincha and Cotopaxi, making it more difficult to get to.
Sincholagua is best known for views of the surrounding mountains such as Cotopaxi and Antisana as well as the Western Cordillera and the Amazon rainforest.
 The climb is of moderate difficulty and takes an estimated three hours and thirty minutes to reach the summit from base camp with ideal weather conditions.
The Northwest ridge is the normal route up the mountain and was used by the first climbers.
People who want to climb it usually come in from the south through Cotopaxi National Park to reach the volcano.
It can also be accessed from Quito.
