Is there anyone up for going to Aconcagua in December/January? I am very flexible with dates. Flights will be about $1400 and there is a climbing permit fee of about $700 US. Anyone interested in going on this trip must be in top physical shape and have some experience with altitude. I also plan on heading to Antarctica for some site seeing after Aconcagua. Send me a PM if interested and please 100% committed if you say you want to go.

Here is a description of the route.
The Normal Route is the simplest route, sometimes incorrectly called North, since in fact it is the Northeast Route. In general no short-shafted ice axe or ropes are needed. For practical purposes, climbers use ski poles and crampons.
Going up by this route there are several itineraries; therefore, it is common to set up two or three altitude camps ("Plaza Canadá", "Nido de Cóndores" and "Berlín" or "Cólera").
This route is the most chosen by climbers as it does not present any technical difficulty; this means that the climbers don´t require a previous climbing experience on rocks or ice. It may be hiked, just by walking. You may have to use crampons and fixed ropes for your security, depending on the conditions of the route.
The following is a complete breakdown of the route with information, maps and photos. |
