Aconcagua Expedition Dispatches
Berg Adventures Aconcagua Expedition
December 25, 2012 – January 13, 2013
As one of the famously acclaimed Seven Summits, Aconcagua dominates as the highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere. Standing at an impressive 22,841ft/6,962m, Aconcagua has become increasingly popular at testing and rewarding mountaineers looking for a course to high altitude. Cold nights, high-velocity winds and weighty packs have shown many people what expedition climbing is all about—and Neil and Dan won’t be any different. Fortunately, these alumni also have determined spirits, good health, enjoyable company, and a gifted cook to help them through.
We invite you to join us on this grand adventure as we travel from wine country to mountaintop.
