Aconcagua - 6962m.
Come climb Aconcagua with Natural High Canadian Mountain Adventures. Our Aconcagua climbing expeditions are among the best in the world.
For 2008/09 Natural High is offering a fantastic route to the summit of Aconcagua. As the Argentine Government has closed the lower Guanacos route until further notice we have chosen to do a route that combines the Polish Falso route with the upper Guanacos route. This non-technical route is an amazing and safer option for climbing Aconcagua. By taking this route and adding one camp it allows us a safer acclimatization program than the False Polish Route and gives us a more remote, private experience.
As usual Natural High will be offering the same high quality expedition with many extras (such as a private wine tour and a draw for a new tent) that other companies do not include.
Aconcagua Expedtion Summary
We begin and end our Aconcagua expeditions in the layed back city of Mendoza where we can enjoy the local culture, cuisine and world class wine of Argentina. Our accommodations are in one of the nicest hotels in the heart of Mendoza.
As we climb Aconcagua we follow the best acclimatization schedule on the mountain starting with a mule supported three-day trek to basecamp. For the first two days of the approach to base camp we follow the same route as the Guanacos Valley route (the Vacas Valley) and then turn up the Relinchos Valley and trek to our new fully equipped base camp at Plaza Argentina. From Plaza Argentina we follow the same route as the False Polish until camp 1. From camp 1 we will start carry loads high and sleep low one day and then move to higher camps the next. Time is also allotted for rest days which also promotes acclimitization. As we climb and traverse we eventuaully join up with the less travelled Upper Guanacos Route which allows us to establish an extra camp along the way, again promoting safer acclimatization. The expedition is highlighted with a long summit day as we take our time to reach the summit safely.
To finish an outstanding expedition we have a final wind-up dinner and privat wine tour in the city of Mendoza.
