I can recommend Camping Tours for well organized trips up the mountain.
They have a website.

Duarte on the cheap
Does anybody know if a guide can be rented and how much they cost?
Also, how long would it take for a couple of relativley young, fit guys? I would be bringing all of my own hiking equipment.
Thanks

You can hire guides, right there at the base of the mountain, rather than buy a tour, but I don't know how much, and it's usually a 3 day adventure.
Bringing a tent along may be a good idea, as the shacks/camps are said to be rat infested.
