Climbing Mt Aconcagua Polish Traverse - Extreme Adventure Full Documentary

Mountaineering Adventure Video to the Summit of Mt Aconcagua via the 360° Polish Traverse route. Extreme wind greatly affected our ability to summit, but the trip was ultimately successful.

Aconcagua is the highest non-technical climb in the world. Ice climbing equipment is not required. However the extreme altitude results in only 42% Oxygen at summit compared with sea level. This, and extreme weather, are the greatest challenges.

That moment when you see a mountain for the first time that you've thought, learned, and dreamed about for so long is genuinely tough to put into words. I'm glad you made sure to capture it on screen.

I climbed in Jan this year and did a movie about it as well. So I know how much effort is involved. You have lots of good content with great level of detail for people who intend to climb Aconcagua for the first time. I did the normal route so it was interesting to see the other side. Thank you for sharing!

Wonderfully edited and filmed. Loved watching your journey. Congrats!

Awesome! Well done. I usually don't watch videos that are not in the Himalayas, but I really enjoyed that. Actually I just accidentally lied to you, I love Yosemite. 😀

Great work . Unfortunately at 46 I'm too old for this. Too late for me but at least I get to go up there and see what is like thanks to you guys.

I climbed it about a month ago and summited via the normal route. It felt like the hardest thing I've ever done. Now I'm training for Denali this June.

[Moniczka]

Great job! I want to climb Aconcagua next year and I was looking for a video like that. Thank you!

Beautiful Aconcagua!!! 9.03 is something very similar to a female Tabanus glacuopis. Take care about viruses/bacteria/protozoa and other parasite they can spread.
