Aconcagua stands at an elevation of 6,961 metres (22,838 feet) and is the highest mountain in both North and South America, the Western Hemisphere, and the highest outside Asia.
Preparation is the central element when it comes to an Aconcagua Climb as the high altitude and low success rates can be daunting. This is the exact reason why we have created this read for you, where we will put under a microscope all the key aspects of Climbing Mount Aconcagua and how you can stand atop the tallest mountain in the Americas in no time at all!
Aconcagua Routes
This Route up Aconcagua starts from the Lower Horcones Valley and takes the primary path leading all the way to Plaza del Mulas (4,260 metres). This is the first base camp, where the conditions are cold and arid and the vegetation is the thinnest.
This Mt Aconcagua Route takes roughly 18 days to complete and begins at the eastern section of the mountain. From there it gradually traverses around the mountain before joining the normal route near the summit. The Polish Traverse Route is slightly more challenging than the Normal Route and requires some minor technical climbing skills.
The Polish Glacier Route is the most challenging out of all the Aconcagua Climbing Routes and requires technical climbing skills. Based on the weather conditions at hand, the route generally takes around 18-20 days and takes the direct trail up the east face of the mountain over the Polish Glacier. Only expert climbers are advised to attempt this route as steep ice climbing is a necessity.
