| Overview
|
Cerro Aconcagua (6960m) is particularly impressive, rising 1000m above its neighbours and visible from the Pacific coast 100 kilometers away. Our itinerary allows optimum time for fitness and acclimatisation before attempting the 'normal route'. While the technical climbing challenges are not formidable, the combination of altitude, frequent changes of weather and the need to complete up to 12 hours of sustained climbing on summit day ensures that few ascents are straightforward. Our mountaineering guide Angel Armesto, who has climbed and led over 60 expeditions on Aconcagua, ensures your best chances of success.
