On the Road Again – February 2023 Aconcagua Expedition – Team rooster
Hello from the trail! 🏔️
We’re already on our way for another incredible adventure in the Andes! This marks our 4th and 5th uninterrupted Aconcagua expeditions of the season, and the energy is high. 💥
Let’s recap the season so far:
✅ Our first expedition to Cerro Plata was a huge success — 5 out of 7 climbers reached the summit.
✅ Then we moved on to Aconcagua, where 8 out of 11 climbers made it to the top of the Americas.
✅ In January, our team of 8 faced tough conditions, and only 2 reached the summit — but the lessons and stories we brought back were just as powerful.
🧗♂️ February: Two Aconcagua Expeditions, Two Different Challenges
This February 2023, we’ve launched two parallel Aconcagua expeditions — one tackling the demanding Polish Glacier Route, and the other following the classic Normal Route. Both teams will climb together until 5,600m at Nido de Cóndores, where they’ll split and pursue their separate paths to the summit.
This kind of expedition is part of what makes our trips so special: same logistics, different dreams, and a shared love for the mountains. 🌍❤️
