I climbed Aconcagua alone from the sea (and back)

Показать описание
My dream was to climb this mountain from sea level. At 6,000 meters I realised I couldn't do it.

In January 2024 I set out to climb Aconcagua from the Pacific Ocean in Chile, to the summit, and back. A 500km journey in total.

This film documents my experience of attempting to climb one of the 7 Summits. The highest peak in the Andes mountains.

The walk was difficult, but the real challenge only started when I reached Plaza de Mulas.

This crazy journey is only the first of 7.
My end goal is to climb each continent'sdaydreamed highest mountain (the 7 Summits) from sea level, and back to sea level.

You walked, you saw, you summited, and then you walked again ! Conquering the elements, head/ body/emotional pain, street dogs and Google maps! Very well done, an outstanding first !!

Awesome stuff guys and congrats on the huge milestone. Unfortunate for Viv though I'm sure she was on the top in spirit. Your teamwork and support for each other is second to none. Overcoming the mental battle on this mountain is the hardest task, glad you persevered and gave it another crack. It's often these dark moments that give us insight about ourselves and what we are truly capable of. I certainly don't miss the hurricane winds or freezing temperatures of Aconcagua! Cheers for filming your journey, it's no easy feature expressing your thoughts on camera especially when fatigued and battling with the elements and altitude. Onwards an upwards!

I was in suspense the entire video. I like how Chris’ calm voice shows up in the most stressful moments and I got to see my good friend Marita too ❤

Wow, what an incredible journey! 🌄 Starting from the ocean and attempting to summit Aconcagua is an insane challenge - can only imagine how tough it got at Plaza de Mulas. The dedication it takes to try each of the 7 Summits from sea level is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure, can’t wait to see what’s next! 🏔💪

Incredible guys. What a god damn epic effort. Grab life by the horns and ride that bad boy out. Every time I watch I get more inspired. Hopefully those cracked fingers recovered and I’m pumped to see the journey to Kilimanjaro!!

Amazing. Such a huge achievement. I visited Santiago and Valparaiso in 2004. I loved the view of the Andes towering in the background, but never for a moment had the thought of climbing there. I certainly didn't think of walking there from Valparaiso!! Maybe one day, though seeing how tough Aconcagua was puts it all in perspective. It may be "just" a trekking peak, but it is clearly no joke. I look forward to more of your adventures and can't even imagine how you could get to Everest from sea level!!

This is amazing. I am really glad you made it to the top. I am planning to do the hike solo one day, your video is very useful. Thank you for sharing all the details. Last bit of the video, when you get close to home reminded me of how I felt when I completed some of the hikes. It's so true. I enjoy watching the whole video and wish you the best of luck on any future hikes.

You are so insane determined and dedicated. It has humbled me how much effort you have put into this. Your channel will blow up massively soon!

It's SO important the people that cheer you up to try to succeed, they believe in you more than yourself at that point. Something something similar happened to me, in a hole other level in a thru hike.

Great video! Happy for you! Will keep following the adventures 👍🏻
