Aconcagua Expedition Dispatches
Berg Adventures Aconcagua Expedition
January 1 – 21, 2017
Reaching the summit of Mount Aconcagua
As one of the famously acclaimed Seven Summits, Aconcagua also dominates as the highest mountain in both the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Standing at an impressive 22,841ft/6,962m, Aconcagua has become increasingly popular as a testing ground for those interested in climbing at extremely high altitude. Cold nights, high-velocity winds and weighty packs have shown many of our Berg team members what expedition climbing is all about.
We invite you to join us on this grand adventure as we travel from wine country to mountain top.>
