Aconcagua
can
be
climbed
without
any
technical
experience,
but
should
not
be
underestimated.
General
mountaineering
experience
is
certainly
needed
to
avoid
injury
or
death,
even
on
the
"Normal
routes".
7summits.com
offer
fully
serviced
and
guided
trip
up
the
2
most
used
routes
as
well
as
an
additional
couple
of
days
to
acclimatize
even
better
(EAP,
or
Extra
Acclimatization
Program,
available
for
both
routes).
On our new "Aconcagua from all sides route", you will ascend
using the Polish traverse route, summit and descend using the faster normal
route!
This has many advantages: the descent is much quicker, summit day is shorter
and you get to see all sides of Aconcagua!
Ascent: on
our
Polish
Traverse
route
you
will
ascend
slowly.
This
route
follows
the
technical
Polish
Glacier
route
until
the
beginning
of
the
glacier,
and
then
traverses
to
the
normal
route!
This
means
you
will
be
able
to
enjoy
the
more
wild
and
remote
Vacas
valley
(less
than
15%
of
the
climbers
use
this
route,
85%
use
the
normal
route!),
without
needing
ropes and ice-axes etc.
This
route
is
recommended
for
it's
beauty
and
versatility.
Descent: you go down using the normal route, only a few hours to basecamp
Plaza de Mulas, where your loads will be taken over by mules, the rest of the
trek is an easy full day hike back to Puente de Inca.
