The expedition was truly fantastic. Our friendly guides were not only warm and welcoming but also impressively prepared both technically and emotionally, ensuring we felt confident and supported throughout the journey. The organization was impeccable, leaving no detail overlooked. I can’t wait for another adventure with you guys!
On January 31st at 2 pm local time, I reached Aconcagua’s summit at 6,961 m (22,837 ft) after over 7 hours battling extreme conditions—strong winds, -35 °C, and very low oxygen. The challenge pushed me to my physical and mental limits, yet it remains one of the best experiences of my life. Amid raging storms outside and within, my focus never wavered. My deepest thanks to Maximo Kausch and the incredible Andes Specialists team—a group you can truly trust. I’m forever grateful to every member of our climbing group, especially George Kalbin, Felix, Fabian Hugelshofer, Ryan Pyle, Jesse Rosenberg, Chad Ingraham, Caio Vilela, Kristen, Fiona, Kurt Schobesberger, Yan, and Quentin, as well as the Brazilian team whose energy warmed our journey. THANK YOU all—it was like magic.
The expedition to Ojos was very good indeed. Everything went exactly as planned—from the seamless organization and well-thought-out logistics to the fun activities throughout the trip. The entire experience was enhanced by the high spirits of everyone involved and the way we all connected with the mountain. The natural beauty of the landscape combined with the team’s positive energy created an unforgettable adventure. I would gladly join another expedition like this at any time, and I truly recommend it to anyone seeking a well-organized, enjoyable, and inspiring outdoor experience.
