CONGRATULATIONS FOR SO MUCH EFFORT AND FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL SUMMIT!!!! This video made me remember and relive every minute of the journey. I was in January 2024, I entered Horcones on 01/14, with all the forecasts against it, a lot of people getting off without being able to get there, a lot of wind, very strong and low temperatures. Wednesday 01/24/2024 I crowned the summit in that BEAUTY CALLED ACONCAGUA!!! A long, hard trip, but absolutely UNFORGETTABLE!!

Man... completely teared up with you when you reached the top. Your experience, and the recording of it, were truly inspiring. All the best mate!

Q&A

What's the strange fashion item on your head between camp Confluencia and Plaza De Mulas? My Fleece jumper for sun protection (I accidently packed my buff inside by ruck sack that was being carried by the mule and I was too lazy to unpack everything.

What was the hardest part of the climb? Personally found Camp 1 to camp 2 the most challenging due to the weight of the backpack with all my gear and food (around 30Kg).

How cold was Summit day?
The Temperature had a -29 degree chill factor, the coldest section was at dawn and crossing the traverse. I tried to find cover from the wind, my feet and hands were numb and frozen and I seriously considered pulling the pin at this point. I ended up experiencing frost nip in my finger tips for several weeks after.

Why did you climb from camp two? I had originally planned to spend the night at camp 3, however upon my acclimatation hike, I witnessed a commercial group struggling to carry their gear up and subsequently changed my plans given I felt pretty good with my acclimatation hike. It was also easier to source water at camp 2 then 3

When did you climb?
Mid December 2022, during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The Camps were rather quiet above base camp prior to the high season.

Why is your helmet positioned so high? I have an extremely large head and my helmet is the largest I could source. When it is cold and require to wear a beanie, my helmet no longer positions correctly. Would love recommendations for wider helmets.

I’m so happy I came across this video… I felt moved when you reached the summit because I’m a solo hiker too… and I know what it means to us! Congrats and keep it up! Hugs from Italy 🇮🇹

Emozioni, sentimenti, sensazioni, paure, e privazioni, per raggiungere un sogno infinito quello di toccare la vetta di una montagna incredibile e di scenari meravigliosi, ma per te Liam con grande coraggio e tanta fiducia hai dimostrato anche da solo che si arriva. Grande stima....Massimo da Sora ciociaria.

Great video! It was a beautiful time to climb Aconcagua. The weather and the world cup atmosphere were perfect! I summited on 16th Dec 22 so we probably crossed paths at base camp.

Top shelf content mate, I'm a big fan of your dry delivery. Just watched the Fed video too, you've got some great mental and physical endurance to slug these trips out on your own.
