Join Lindsay Valero on Aconcagua in partnership with Skyline Mountain Guides.
Climbing Cerro Aconcagua is an unforgettable adventure, and one that could reward climbers with a summit of the tallest peak outside of Asia (#1 tallest in the Southern and Western hemispheres) and the second most prominent peak on the planet! Beginning in the wine capital of Argentina - Mendoza - the team travels through extensive vistas, all the while enjoying the perks of first class camp logisistics. Five star meals, no shortage of wine, and large comfortable dome tents are provided all the way to Camp 1.
Aconcagua is the perfect blend of exposure to high altitude climbing paired with a comfortable approach. This enables climbers to focus in on self care and develope skills to thrive at high altitudes. For the first half of the climb we are trekking, following established trails high into the Aconcgua massive. Leaving Basecamp, our pack weight increases and we become more self-sufficent. We setup our tents, the guide team perpares the food, and we leave many of the creature comforts behind. Aconcgua offers the best of both worlds, allowing climbers to experience high altitude without the numerous other technical elements required by other peaks this size.
