Aconcagua 2025 - 2026 - Page 3

Greetings from sunny Argentina! Today, our super group trekked from the entrance to Aconcagua National Park, where we checked our permits, to Confluencia Camp (3,300m). We completed this stage at a good pace in 2 hours 40 minutes, and the group is in excellent condition. Group guides were Dmitry Semenov and Georgy Bushuev.

Greetings from sunny Argentina! Today, our super group left the hospitable city of Mendoza, and three hours later, we arrived at the entrance to Aconcagua National Park. We'll spend the night here and begin our trek to the summit tomorrow. Today, we also visited the Inca Bridge, a natural landmark. Guides for the group are Georgy Bushuev and Dmitry Semenov.

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!

The 7 Summits Club guide Valery Myasoedov reports from Argentina:

 Greetings from Argentina! The "Otkryvashka" group ascended to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp at 4,300 meters yesterday. We settled into comfortable dormitories and were delighted to learn that our cozy dining room and mess hall, as in previous years, would be ours for the entire season. The 7 Summits Club flag was ceremoniously hung on the wall, officially marking the opening of the season! Today we took a leisurely stroll to the abandoned hotel, and tomorrow we have a radial ascent to Plaza Canada.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Valery Myasoedov reports from Argentina:

Greetings from Argentina! The "Otkryvashka" group has entered the active acclimatization phase. Yesterday, we ascended from Puente del Inca to Confluence Camp, 3,400 meters. Before leaving, we took a short hike to the famous bridge. The weather is terrible, but we remain optimistic. Today, we made a radial hike to Plaza Francia and admired the beautiful views of the South Face of Aconcagua. Now we're resting and preparing for tomorrow's trek to Base Camp.

Valery Myasoedov, the 7 Summits Club guide, reports from Argentina:

Greetings from sunny Argentina! Here, the 7 Summits Club is opening the new climbing season on America's highest peak, Mount Aconcagua, at 6,962 meters. Yesterday, we met the first group at the airport, spent the first day organizing the expedition, and got to know the city. Today, we've already moved to the Puente del Inca camp and settled into comfortable cabins. The weather is unstable, but that's not a big deal right now; the main thing is for it to stabilize by summit day. Tomorrow, we're scheduled to hike to the Confluencia Camp.
