Second Aconcagua summit of the season!

We received a call this morning from our guide, Joey Elton, calling from the summit of Aconcagua! Joey and climber Guy Manning reached the tippy top of the western hemisphere at 9am this morning (2pm Aconcagua time), after a six and a half hour push from Camp 2. Nice work guys!

To read Joey's full message, please visit our dispatches page.

Warning

Climbing, skiing and mountaineering are dangerous sports. When you undertake an outdoor, backcountry, or an alpine adventure without a guide, you assume total responsibility for your decisions and wellbeing. Conditions in the mountains are constantly changing, and no guidebook or computer web blog can take the place of solid training and experience. Though this site features descriptions of roads, trails, climbing routes, and other natural features, you cannot assume that because something is described here that it has not changed since last observed or that it will be safe for you or your party. AAI assumes no responsibility or liability for your use of the information presented in this blog. With regard to all backcountry travel and climbing, you must make your own assessments and decisions, and you assume all risks in applying them.
