Aconcagua

Aconcagua Summit Log (#17347)

We actually approached fromt the less traveled Vacas Valley to Plaza Argentina route. Very tough terrain, yet beautiful. Although at times I considered we were somewhere that NASA had used to film the Martian Rover bumping into rocks. There was absolutlely zero vegetation above 15,000. Just rocks. Amazing views of the other 6,000 meter peaks. Watch out for acclimatization. Critical that you go slow. Went with a team of 12 and summited with 10. But we literally took 2 weeks to climb to the top. Enjoy the trek in also. The river is raging in some places but it was all good!! Peace. Terry
