I climbed it in February 1984. Descending from the summit alone, I saw in a place called " El acarreo" very nice blond women ridding white horses along a beach then, I remembered the words of a wise polish expedition cook, he told us: "it doesn't matter what you hear or what you see, keep descending, keep walking, never stop pushing until you reach the safety of the base camp". This profetic words save my life. Thank you. Where ever you are I'll always thank you.

Fun to be reminded of the mountain. I traversed it solo in 1994. Pretty hard going with a storm on the day I summited. Went through a period of hallucinating white rabbits and Samurais on horseback on the way down. Happy memories!

Tried twice, turned from summit bid due to bad weather. Love the people and the country which makes this mountain very special.

I was there, many years ago... happy to see and hear that the motivation and sensations are still alive...
I was one of the 2 lucky ones, out of a group of 9 to embrace the summit cross, but we were all winners!
The mountain is unique, long live its magic and beauty.

The Documentary is the best on Ancongua yet. A must see for any climbers wanting to climb it. Vaya con Dios.

Did this in '04, without guides or catering- definitely a more civilized way to go. Brought back some great memories and reminded me why I still travel today. Thankyou.

We did it the same route in 6 days several years ago. The most beautiful mountain I ever climbed!

Been up there in Feb. 2008. One of the greatest moments in my life.
Nice video, beautiful place with nice people.

"Climbed" Aconcagua 1995.
Not a technical mountain, pretty much a walk in the park, exept the weather and, offcourse, if you take the south face. The view when you pop up your head over the edge of the canaleta is breathtaking🙏❤️

I submitted this mountin back in 1998!! No oxygen brings back a lot of memories!

Nice vid. I spent several southern early autumns, in Parque Aconcagua, painting the great landscape. Met a lot of climbers. And, a lot DIDN'T get to the top... Timing has to be good, weather windows etc. Lot of people go, with a set amount of time. It took my brother in law three attempts, to get to the top. Not technically hard, but it still kills people, who don't prepare, respect it etc.

Climbed it in December 2006. An amazing mountain.

Great video. I summited Aconcagua on Christmas Day, 2017, just a couple of weeks after you guys.

[Delphi_Primetime]

I just finished climbing to the summit last week paraglided down to our base camp! It was just a lot of great fun! I recommend it for everyone.

I knew Rodrigo in Valdez, AK, in the early ‘90s when he could run up and down Denali like it was nothing. He even talked about doing it in a day. You are aging well, my man!

[brunospasta]

Looking at climbing videos of the Himalayas vs this puts things in perspective. Still, mad respect to anybody going to the top of this, and even more respect to take it step by step and not just book a "trip" to Mt. Everest.

Argentina y sus paisajes, amo mi hermoso país! ❤️🇦🇷

[raykleiner]

These self-made documentaries are the best. Great!

Climbed and summited. Spent 4 days at base camp, climbed high slept low then went to 19000 for 2 days and summited from 19000 back down to 19000 then all the way down to base camp and out to the trail head. Summited day low wind 5 below. Great summit. Worse part of the climb was the wind coming through the valley to base camp picking up the sand and dust. Over all this is an easy mountain Rainer is much harder.
