This is the highest trekking peak in the world and highest mountain in the western hemisphere. After Everest, Aconcagua is the second highest of the seven summits 6,962m/ 22,841ft. Climbing Aconcagua on the normal route is all about endurance and acclimatization while dealing with cold and harsh weather. Named the stone sentinel by the Incas., most of the climb is on rocky trails and rises straight up from Base Camp to summit. Aconcagua is often
underestimated; it is a formidable challenge. This expedition is for trekkers who are in excellent physical shape as it is a strenuous and demanding climb which needs careful consideration and previous altitude experience before trying to climb Aconcagua.
We feel those who have previous altitude experience above 6,000m/ 16,404ft and who are avid hikers/climbers have the best success rate on this climb. With the extreme altitude, and the weather and camping conditions on Aconcagua make this a very challenging expedition. You need to come experienced and familiar with extreme conditions before attempting this difficult climb.
