Aconcagua - is it for you?

If you are looking to climb Aconcagua this coming season Adventure Peaks offers some of the best support and logistics on the mountain in our attempt to get 100% client success. Here are eight reasons to climb Aconcagua with Adventure Peaks:

Why climb with Adventure Peaks

1. The only expedition company to provide mountain domes/communal tents and fresh food above Base Ccamp; at Camp 1 4850m and Camp 2 5400m allowing you to relax and retain strength for your move to high camp and the summit
2. Quality food, our guides prepare all meals using a variety of fresh ingredients, others providers tend to use freeze dried food at this stage, we don’t!
3. Expedition leaders from the UK who are supported by our regular team of local Argentinian mountain guides to give a 1:3 ratio throughout your climb above Base Camp. Many operators only increase their ratio to this level on summit day allowing little or no time to bond or get to know you! Maximum 9 clients. Our Leaders UK leaders for the coming season are all past veterans of Aconcagua expeditions and include Stuart Peacock – 3 times Everest summiteer, Martin Doyle – UIAGM Guide, Everest Summiteer and past Director of Plas Y Brenin, Carrie Gibson – Everest summiteer and Dave Pritt – Adventure Peaks Director, Everest Summiteer and five times Aconcagua. Probably the strongest line up on the mountains, Adventure Peaks are High Altitude experts!
4. High-altitude porters to carry group equipment (tents, stoves, shovels and fuel)
5. Ascent via the Vacas Valley, a far more beautiful and less crowded approach than the normal busy Horcones route allowing more time to acclimatize
6. 3 days set aside for a summit attempt
7. All National Park permit fees are included in the price
8. Adventure Peaks has been operating successfully on Aconcagua for over 15 years and we have developed what we see as the best provision on the mountain, giving you the best chance to acclimatize and retain strength for your summit bid.

It is time to book whilst flights are at their most cost effective level

Still unsure – why not join us for a free weekend training meet (May 28^th-29^th or Jun 25^th -26^th)  in the Lake District (Ambleside), stay for one day or two nights, meet our leaders and have a day or two out training with an evening presentation of photos stories and gear requirements. You get your own B&B or we can provide you with tented accommodation for the weekend.
