Aconcagua Expedition Photos

These photos are from our current Aconcagua Rapid Ascent expedition. Yesterday the expedition team summited around 11am and they were back in Mendoza by midnight.

Aconcagua (22,841′ / 6962m) is the tallest peak in the Americas, tallest in the Western and Southern Hemispheres, and tallest outside of the Himalaya.

Aconcagua is one of the Seven Summits and its high altitude makes it the ideal training ground for 8000m peaks like Cho Oyu and Mount Everest.
