Cerro Aconcagua is located on the Argentinian and Chilean border, and is the highest peak on the South American continent. Jimmy and myself will be attempting to summit Aconcagua from the east side via the polish glacier, and then traverse over the mountain and down the west side via the normal route. To get to the base of the mountain will consist of a 3 day trek starting at Puenta de Vacas to base camp at Plaza Argentina starting on 6th December 2011. All going well we anticipate to finish the climb by 26th December. Here are a few related maps of the mountain and the route. Upon arrival at the park entrance a mule shall be joining our team to help with load carrying and posting regular updates of our progress at www.climbtheandes.com We will have a satellite phone with us throughout the climb and welcome any SMS messages by visiting http://messaging.iridium.com/ and sending SMS message to +881632564156.
