Our first attempt to climb the highest mountain in the Americas in 2006 failed. But Aconcagua (6962m) cast such a spell on us that right from then on we were determined to trying it over and over again.
In January 2008 we arrived to Argentina with a clear goal – an alpine-style crossover of Aconcagua from east to west, which meant taking the „false Polish route“ and descending by the „normal“ one. Apart from Aconcagua, we spent a couple of days in the beautiful mountain range of Cordón del Plata, which served us as acclimatisation stay.
