Aconcagua JAN 2024 – team arrival – team rooster
🚨 This is the first blog post of our January 2024 Aconcagua Expedition — and what an exciting season it’s been so far! 🏔️
After a hugely successful Aconcagua expedition in December, where 8 out of 11 climbers summited — including a 60-year-old who was one of the strongest in the group 💪 — we kicked off the new year full of energy, optimism, and the drive to reach the top again.
🎄 We celebrated Christmas and New Year’s on the mountain, surrounded by stunning Andean views, and now a new challenge begins: climbing Aconcagua with a brand-new team, supported by experienced guides and top-notch logistics.
