SWS Mountain Guides
Aconcagua Expedition The summit of Aconcagua (22,834 feet) is the main objective of this 3-week expedition to the southern hemisphere. We will be attempting the Normal Route which, while not requiring a high degree of technical expertise, does require a relatively high level of commitment and physical conditioning due to the nature of the weather and high altitude involved. This is a strenuous climb and reaching the summit requires a sustained effort that can only be realized through proper training and physical/mental conditioning!
What to Expect: We will be climbing to very high elevations (over 20,000 feet) so your physical conditioning, mental attitude, and flexibility will all be factors in making an exciting, fun, and successful trip. You will be required to carry your share of the group equipment and food while climbing to our high camps. We will try to keep this weight to a minimum with the use of burros/horses up to base camp. We are traveling and climbing in a foreign country, and while SWS Mountain Guides makes the best possible plans and tries to account for all possibilities, this is adventure travel and part of the adventure is being flexible and making changes to the itinerary as needed to account for local conditions. Come join your personally experienced Senior SWS Mountain guide on an ecologically sound “real” climbing expedition designed by climbers for climbers! Give Tim, David, or JB a call at 888.797.6867.
