Towering above its neighboring peaks in the heart of the central Andes, Aconcagua rises to 22,841', making it the highest peak in the world outside of the Himalaya. It is the ideal challenge for those who are ready to take their mountaineering to a new level, achieve a significant personal goal, and tackle one of the “Seven Summits”! Aconcagua requires only a minimum of technical climbing experience. Due to the high altitude and severe winds, however, the climb can be extremely challenging and serious.It's a 3-week expedition - maybe for my 60th birthday? Or maybe just another Rainier climb - that would be great as well.
