Aconcagua 2025 - 2026

Greetings from Aconcagua Base Camp! Today, the "Incas on the Trail" group reached Plaza de Mulas. It was a challenging hike: 18 kilometers long and a kilometer vertical. The entire group reached the camp in eight hours, just before the bad weather set in. We settled into comfortable "domos", dome-shaped tents. Afterward, we had a wonderful dinner, and everyone went to rest after a hard day. Tomorrow is a rest day; we'll get ourselves together and relax. With you were 7 Summits Club guides Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiyev.

News from Argentina. Today, the "Incas on the Trail" group completed an acclimatization rotation in the direction the South Face of Aconcagua and Plaza Francia. Along the way, we encountered a llama on the trail. We successfully ascended to 4,000 meters. The wind was quite strong, and we couldn't rest at the highest altitude. We took photos and turned back down. Fortunately, we found a good rest spot on the way down. After lunch, we underwent a medical check. All participants are ready to continue the ascent. Tomorrow we leave for Base Camp! With you were the 7 Summits Club guides Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiev.

Once in touch with Aconcagua, our group decided on the name "Incas on the Trail." Today was an easy day. We woke up at 2,800 meters in Puento Del Inca. After breakfast, we drove to the entrance of the national park. There, we checked our permits, received instructions, and then entered the park. It took us three hours of climbing to reach our first campsite, Confluencia. We rested here and prepared for tomorrow's expedition. With you were guides Leuan Atabiev and Sergey Avtomonov.

Greetings from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today was an easy day for us. We spent the night at Camp Nido de Condores, at an altitude of 5,500 meters. The night was windless and not too cold, although the water in the kettle froze. We had breakfast and began our descent to our base camp, where lunch and a hot shower awaited us. This concluded our high-altitude acclimatization cycle. Now we're resting and preparing to ascend to the high camps for our subsequent assault on Aconcagua. Our group guides are Dmitry Semenov and Georgy Bushuev.

We continue our notes from Aconcagua. Today, we started our day in Mendoza at the hotel. We leisurely packed our remaining gear, had a delicious meal, and headed out towards the mountain after lunch. We reached Puento del Inca in three hours. There, we divided our gear into two parts: one part would go directly to Base Camp by mule, and the other would go to our next, first camp, Confluencia. Tomorrow, we enter Aconcagua National Park and head to Camp I. With you were the 7 Summits Club guides Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiev.

Today, a new 7 Summits Club group gathered in Mendoza, Argentina. We checked our gear, rented what was missed, and bought some extra supplies. We slept well after the challenging flight to Argentina.

The 7 Summits Club guide Valery Myasoedov sends the following from Argentina:

Greetings from Mendoza! The "Otkryvashka" group successfully completed their mission and opened the mountain for the next groups this season. The well-deserved award ceremony, accompanied by delicious wine and a Tomahawk steak, took place at our favorite restaurant, La Lucia. Believe me, the contrast between the thrill of pushing yourself to the limit on the mountain and the steak in Mendoza is what we go to Aconcagua for.

Greetings from sunny Argentina! Our group assembled today, gear was checked, and organizational matters were resolved. Tomorrow, we head to the Aconcagua National Park area, where our trek to the summit will begin. Wish us luck and stay tuned! Group guides: Georgy Bushuev and Dmitry Semenov.

The 7 Summits Club guide Valery Myasoedov reports from Argentina:

 Greetings from Argentina! The "Otkryvashka" group made the first ascent of Aconcagua this season today. And we did it in a record time of 7 hours and 45 minutes! The weather gave us a chance, and we took it. I can't recall a time in my career when there was no wind on the traverse. It's worth noting that we were the first to reach the summit on this festive day, having cleared a path for the climbers following us along the way. We've made a start, and we wish all our other groups successful ascents this season!

The 7 Summits Club super guide Valery Myasoedov reports from Argentina:

Greetings from Argentina! The "Otkryvashka" group continues its active acclimatization on the slopes of Aconcagua. I'm writing to you from Camp Nido de Condores, located at 5,500 meters. How can I write to you from 5,500 meters? It's simple! We have Starlink here, just like we do at Camp Berlin at 5,950 meters. Without exaggeration, both the Base Camp and the high camps offer the absolute best services on the mountain. Separate large domo tents serve as dining rooms and mess halls at each camp, where you can rest and prepare for the big day. And registration for the January groups is still open. If anyone's still considering it, don't hesitate!
