expeditions

The day begins early in the morning. This is the most demanding day of our expedition because involves technical climb, ropes work and ice climbing skills. We will climb almost 1200mts this day. The terrain will be ice and snow. It could be deep snow depending on weather conditions. Maximum slop is 60° near the “Bottle Neck”. Once we reach the summit ridge it is almost two hours snow traverse to get the summit. There we can directly observe under our feet the Southern Wall of the Aconcagua, considered one of the largest faces in the world. An indescribable feeling of satisfaction takes over as we reach the summit at 6962 m, where is waiting for us a 360° view and the experience of achievement that you only finally understand once you reach it. After sharing these moments of accomplishment and emotion with our expedition mates we will descent through the Canaleta to the Northwest ridge and traverse to Camp 3 of Normal Route (Plaza Cólera) where we will meet with our equipment to eat and sleep.
