ACONCAGUA EXPEDITION
Everest One are heading back to Argentina for another climb of Aconcagua in 2025.
Aconcagua is the highest mountain outside of Asia and towers 1000m above it neighbouring peaks in the Andes.
It is also the 2nd highest mountain of the coveted Seven Summits.
​
Our 19 day itinerary includes 2 contingency days, in the event of bad weather, and follows a proven acclimatisation program which schedules rest days in Plaza De Mulas (Base Camp) and up on the mountain in Camp 2 during our summit push.
​
We carry out load carries to stock our camps on the mountain, which is a great way to build strength in preparation for the summit day. You also have the choice to hire a local porter who can assist in carrying personal items up the mountain.
​
We also provide porters for all group equipment including tents and cooking equipment along with rubbish removal.
Whilst Aconcagua is not considered a technical climb, you will need to be fit and comfortable in a high-altitude environment, which can involve extreme weather conditions and long periods of climbing, particularly on summit day.
We will be climbing with expert local guides, who boast 100's of expeditions on the mountain, through our partnership with one of the most professional and accomplished companies in South America, to bring you this amazing opportunity.
If standing on the highest mountain outside of the Himalayas, whilst taking in incredible views of the Andes excites you, then Aconcagua is a wonderful challenge and bound to be the trip of a lifetime.
We believe in climbing in small groups, which ensures greater personal care, supervision and safety and will strictly follow this ethos with a maximum group size of 12 climbers.
Famed for its red wines and amazing steaks, we will celebrate in style back in Mendoza with a group dinner.
To join, you do not require any previous climbing experience but you will need to be very fit, have a great sense of adventure along with the right preparation and gear for the conditions.
