Aconcagua Expedition Dispatches
Berg Adventures 2008 Aconcagua Expedition
January 19, 2008 – February 8, 2008
The highest peak in the world outside Central Asia, Aconcagua has become
an increasingly popular goal for Seven Summits climbers who are seeking
to expand their experience at altitude. This mountain can be a rigorous
and rewarding introduction to the demands of expedition climbing to nearly
7000 meters. On Aconcagua, the task of load carrying to stock high camps,
and the challenging weather with its high winds, as well as the fortitude
required to stay with one climbing objective for three weeks, have shown
many people what expedition climbing is all about.
Join Wally Berg and the BAI Aconcagua team as they go for the summit of the highest peak in the Americas.
