From Wally Berg’s dispatch via satellite during our January 2010 trip:
“It is 3:00am and we’re getting ready to begin our climb. The entire Berg Adventures climbing team is setting off to attempt to reach the summit of Aconcagua.”
At 22,841 feet above sea level, Aconcagua is the highest peak in the world, outside of Asia.
“It is now 2:00pm and I’m calling from the summit of Aconcagua! I’m standing here on the summit with Alain, Isabelle, Hugo, Alex, David, Nelson and Osvaldo. We are very emotional and very happy to be here together.”
Join our team this January as we attempt to climb one of the “Seven Summits”. Aconcagua is not only very high but also massive and its profile dominates everything in the region. While enjoying the rich culture of Argentina, our climbers will prepare for one of the most beautiful and rewarding expedition climbs in the world.
ACONCAGUA JANUARY 08-28, 2011 — Spots still available.
