NORMAL ROUTE
Scheduled Expedition to Mt. Aconcagua - 6.962 m
Difficulty
Technical Difficulty
The Northeast or Normal route climbing the Mt. Aconcagua does not present any technical difficulties; this means that the participant does not require any previous climbing experience on rocks or ice. This route may be climbed, just by walking. You may have to use crampons and fixed ropes for your security, depending on the conditions of the route. These decisions will be made by guides during the expedition.
Physical Difficulty
In order to avoid any kind of inconveniences in the process of acclimatization and to succeed in getting the summit, we suggest you to follow a training program adapted to the activity that you are going do, as well as eating a balanced diet some months before starting the start date of the expedition.
Other Types of Difficulties
The biggest problem that you can face on your expedition is the effects of the altitude on your body. This can be overcome with a previous training and correct acclimatization. (This aspect is covered in any of our programs). Another difficulty is the low temperatures on the mountain, the effects of which are reduced with a high-quality clothing and equipment. |
