A.P. 8 Jan. 20 – 31

This 12-day expedition got today to the summit at 22,834′! Another one that successfully reaches the top of Aconcagua!

Even though the weather was not the best, as it was a windy challenging day, they worked hard towards the summit.

They stood at the highest point out of the Himalayas and the highest mountain of the American continent. A great achievement and a unique experience!

They are spending the night at High Camp, before returning to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp tomorrow.

Congratulations to them for the big effort! We are glad to be part of their great adventure!

We have another expedition up in the mountains. If they summit, all of our 8 trips will have reached the top! 100% success rate for this season so far!

The group had a meeting yesterday and after going through all the details of the trip, they had dinner together.

Today they left the city early in the morning, heading to the trailhead at Horcones.

This team of four climbers and their experienced guide Carlos Liendo are ascending the Normal Route, spending their first night at Confluencia Camp.

They used an Altitude Training System with a hypoxic tent several weeks before, so they have already pre-acclimatized and are ready for this expedition that will only last 12 days.

The guide will contact us with a satellite phone. We will follow their steps as they move uphill.

Keep checking our website, as we will be sharing more updates soon!
