Aconcagua, the Southern and Western Hemisphere's highest peak - and one of
the seven summits. Climbing Aconcagua is a goal for many climbers
of all ability levels. While not technically demanding, The
Polish Traverse Variation on Aconcagua requires a high level
of commitment and can be physically demanding, and sees far
fewer climbers than the Normal Route. This makes a guided
Aconcagua climb via the Polish traverse a great mountain climbing
expedition for motivated mountaineers who have high alititude
climbing goals without wanting a technical climbing.
Our Aconcagua climbs are done as a scheduled group trip on a custom and private basis. All of our trips are small groups which works out much better than larger groups while on the mountain. There are many companies that run large group trips up Aconcagua and we have decided to specialize in small groups and custom trips led by American guides with full local logistical support. A custom trip allows for you to go at your own pace with people you know. It is a much better way to go. We guide both a scheduled group trip as well as private one-on-one trips and custom group trips.
We provide you the best of care with a low guest-to-guide
ratio and the best local logistical support. We have a minimum of two American guides per group and we limit group sizes to a total of 8 climbers.
We take high alititude climbing seriously and treat our climb
of Aconcagua with much respect and care. In addition to our scheduled climb, we can also customize an itinerary that will give you the best chances of attaining Aconcagua's summit while ensuring safety and providing for a great experience
Our Aconcagua climbing expeditions can start as you arrive in Mendoza, Argentina with full support to the
summit and return. Mule support to Aconcagua base camp and
camp cooks are provided for your comfort and to ease your
acclimating process. Optional porter services are available
above base camps to the high camps on Aconcagua to enable
you to carry lighter loads.
We can also run our Aconcagua expeditions with custom dates solely for private groups from December through February. We can customize an itinerary to suite your group's goals and abilities.
