Christine Chan brings the story of a friend she met in Argentina that climbed Mt. Aconcagua:
It usually takes 12-13 days to climb to the top. The first few days looked like a big dust bowl. The winds are so heavy that they can blow you over. The temperature is below zero. We dodge rocks carrying 80 pounds of equipment. The most frustrating part are the walls. After 12 hours of hiking, you can spend another four hours climbing a 400 foot wall. Some days you are so tired that you spend the day at camp. You sleep, walk around, play cards, melt snow for water, spend an hour cooking each meal, and allow your body to acclimatize.
for the full story read Cristine’s blog. Anyway, I felt so drawn to the story and the mountain that I couldn’t resist starting to find the next expedition to the mountain so far I’ve found this expedition information from HimalayanExpeditions and I can’t afford the price just yet but I’m sure going to plan toward it.
