My Aconcagua Climb - The First of its Kind - Documentary

A lot of people told me this was a bad idea.
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's highest mountain (the 7 Summits) from sea level, and back to sea level.

What a ridiculous rollercoaster of emotions that was. Such a good documentary, really sticks out in the sea of mountaineering videos.

Congrats on the summit! I hope you can go back one day so Viv can summit too.

Currently I'm saving money to get into mountaineering, and in the meantime I'm focussing on running ultratrails and do hikes like TMB. Your content is super inspiring and gives the feeling that it is hard but possible. Thank you for that!

Great stuff, mate. Exceptional spirit and toughness, i really admire it.
I would be happy if you come over (return) to Switzerland (where I am not a resident, but travelling every month during warmer period) to do a hike or via ferrata along.

Cheers and keep it up. Greeting to Viv as well :)
