-
Rafael, Raymond, Arianna, and Manuel successfully reached the summit, proving that with the right Guide to Climb Aconcagua and proper Aconcagua equipment, even the most challenging conditions can be overcome.
Our journey was marked by heavy snow at base camp and Camp 2, coupled with a couple of intense storms. Despite these adversities, our team persisted, showcasing the resilience required for any high altitude expedition. This adventure not only reinforced our skills and teamwork but also provides valuable insights for those preparing for the 2025 Aconcagua Expedition.
As we reflect on our achievements this season, we’re already looking ahead to Aconcagua 2026—another opportunity to refine our techniques, upgrade our Aconcagua equipment, and guide more climbers safely to the summit.
