Reaching the summit of the Americas to this group was very special! Starting the year rediscovering the power of the will to accomplish something is rewarding! Finding loved ones, making new friends in the group and during the journey, being able to see and feel new landscapes are gifts that the Mountains and the days walking through them give us. Thanks, Max, Edu and Sebastian for the care, you made a difference to the achievement of the whole Group!

On 31st of January at exactly 2 pm in local time, it was when finally reached the summit of Aconcagua at height of 6,961 m (22,837 ft) after pushing for more than 7 hours of struggle in extreme conditions with strong winds and temperature as low as -35 °C in very low oxygen levels.

Although this was expected conditions at the top of the highest mountain in the world outside of Asia and the roof of the Americas enduring this, in reality, consumed everything I could physically and mentally give but in return gave me one of the best experiences in my life, something will stay with me forever. Storms were not only outside they were raging inside too, fear and hope, worry and determination, tears of both pain and joy. Eyes were focused on the next footstep while the mind was on the top.
No thanks will be enough for Maximo Kausch and his amazing team of Andes Specialists, a team you can trust with your life.

A special thanks to guide Maximo Kausch and his team at Andes Specialists, who’s work on the mountain remains unparalleled. Incredible team of guides who managed to secure a summit push and success for many despite sub-par weather conditions with very strong winds. Guide Angel Armesto who was with me before the storm and made sure I received the proper acclimatization before attempting the summit for a second time, as without both a successful summit would not have been possible. Both guides that I hold in high regards and hope to climb with again. The climbing team who made this trip an unforgettable one; Ryan Pyle, Chad Ingraham, Jesse Rosenberg and Caio Vilela from Extreme treks, Mahmoud Amer and all the other people I have met on this journey, making it an unforgettable one.

Arriving to Rio’s airport, our guide Bruno asked me if I’ve liked the trip? If I liked? I was already a little depressed because the trip was finished! I wish it was longer!

Reach the summit of Licancabur, this beautiful volcano that dominates the landscape in San Pedro de Atacama, it was a very rewarding experience. A demanding climb, but it makes up for every step with its beautiful landscape and with the satisfaction of being on a great mountain. I thank the entire team for this experience, and I’m already looking forward to the next adventure.

The glacier school was above all my expectations. The guide’s experience and patient were fundamental for the final result: me reaching the summit of Huayna Potosi.

The course was the best possible introduction to high mountain. It brought me valuable knowledge, presented in theory and practice by the instructors. It made me feel safe to try new mountains on my own. Being on the mountain was sensational! We realise how small we are on this planet, but at the same time that we have the strength to overcome our limitations. Sometimes the journey isn’t easy, but every little moment of it makes it extraordinary and worthwhile.

These 2-days in Cerro Penitentes were amazing in the environnement of Aconcagua and the Andes in general. Eduardo has been very professional, very reactive to my questions before and during the trek, very aware or my wellness. We had a very good time and I should recommend it for sure!.

The hike was great! Edu was a great guide, and Vinicius a great and very supportive assistant. Both warm, personable, professional, competent. They were particularly supportive of my son, who, at the age of 13, made it to the summit, in no small part thanks to them. I will never forget that.
