Buenos Dias from the slopes of Aconcagua! Our friendly company "Gatito Luis" left the hospitable Confluencia camp and went to the base camp of Plaza de Mulas. This is a serious test, as the distance is quite long: 19 km. We walked the first half of the way with a strong headwind, practically not gaining altitude. The second part of the path is shorter, but steeper. The result: a 9-hour walk from one camp to another. In Mulas we have the best conditions: comfortable double cabins, a separate dining room. We had steaks for dinner. Tomorrow we rest and recuperate. The group's guides are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.

The night from January 31 to January 1, 2024, the team of Alex Abramov and Mingma Gelu Sherpa spent at the Nido de Condores Camp. At an altitude of 5,600 meters. Probably the highest in the world this New Year! The camp is great. We have a large tent with a kitchen-dining room. Tables, chairs, dishes. Even a large stove with a 20-liter cylinder. And this is at the height of the summit of Mount Elbrus. It's a pleasure to be there. We went down quickly.
Now we have a rest day down at the Plaza de Mulas camp, we sleep until we stop. Tomorrow, January 3rd, we have an assault exit according to the plan. We want to be on top of Aconcagua on the 5th. There is a strong wind, but on the night of the 4th to the 5th, the wind should be slightly weaker. 60-70 km per hour. Let's see what kind of Aconcagua-24 is…

Alexander Abramov:
"Now we are in the Confluencia camp. We ate very tasty and well. We have a great dining room, great food. And there's a gorgeous sunset behind me. There are always beautiful sunsets on Aconcagua."
"At the Confluence camp, we met our friend, the Japanese guide Hiro. With a group of Japanese. We are friends."

We climbed the Nido de Condores. We have a tent camp there, with a comfortable dining room. We spent the night. The wind constantly shook the tents. In the morning, closer to lunch, we went up to the camp Berlin. This is a cozy camp, where there was no one except our tents. Plus, the rock was blocking us from the west wind. We settled in tents.

By four in the morning, the wind began to subside. They went out to the summit bid. We reached the traverse in 3 hours, then there was a section with a strong wind. Fortunately, the wind is at your back, and not for long. Then the climb to the Cave began along the sypukha. We took a deep breath in the Cave, ate and moved to the top. Three more hours on rocks and snow, and here is the summit, where surprisingly it was almost calm. Memorable photos and videos, mutual congratulations. Then we descend to our camp Berlin. Dinner, overnight and descent to the Plaza de Mulas. Where we had a festive lunch and the awarding of medals to all participants. The guides of the Brain Storm group are Andrey Berezin, Sergey Avtomonov and Valery Myasoedov.

Buenos Dias from the slopes of Aconcagua! The Brain Storm group spent the night at Nido de Condores, at an altitude of 5500m, as part of acclimatization. Our camp is located on a flat area closed from the wind, consists of a dining room and several tents for climbing participants.

 Buenos Dias from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today we have a rest day before going to Nido de Condores (we will spend the night there). We spent the day usefully.  First, we took care of the equipment: we fitted the crampons to the shoes. Then we visited the gallery of the artist Miguel Dauro, looked at his work. In the evening, we passed the medical check necessary before going to altitude. We're going to spend the night at Nido de Condores tomorrow. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.

Greetings from the Aconcagua Base Camp! We continue to introduce you to the infrastructure of the camp. Last year, as a test, double dormitories with beds and heating were installed at the Plaza de Mulas. The testing was successful, and already this season accommodation in such houses is included in the climbing program. Such a house is assigned to the climber for the entire period of stay at the Base Camp, which is 7 days. Seven whole days of comfort at an altitude of 4350 m!

Buenos Dias!  Today, the Brian Storm group, for better adaptation to altitude, made rotation to 4000 meters in the Plaza France gorge under the Southern Face of Aconcagua.  Tomorrow we have a long walk to the Plaza de Mulas Base Camp. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.

Greetings from the Plaza de Mulas Base Camp, which is located near Aconcagua! The 2023-24 season is gaining momentum, and tomorrow the first group will come up here, where they will spend most of the program, like all our other groups. That is why we attach great importance to the comfort and convenience of our participants' stay at the Base Camp. Good nutrition and good sleep are the key to a successful ascent. This season we have exclusive accommodation conditions, a separate dining house where we eat and relax in our free time. Take a look at the video for yourself, what it looks like. Really, it's wonderful! There will be other videos telling about the infrastructure of the Base Camp and high-altitude camps. Follow the news!

Buenos Dias! Our group called "Brain Storm" went to the foot of the highest peak in South America - Aconcagua.  After we received permits and permission to visit the Horcones National Park, we drove from hot Mendoza to windy Penitentes in three hours, where we stayed in glamping. We spent the night and arrived at the Horcones National Park in the morning, registered and walked to the Confluencia camp in three hours.

  The famous Kazakh artist Karipbek Kuyukov was born 100km from the landfill, and was born without hands due to radiation from nuclear tests. As a child, he fell in love with art, and learned to draw by holding a brush in his mouth and toes. At the moment, Karipbek is an activist of the anti-nuclear movement, a speaker, an artist, and was even nominated for the Nobel Prize as an activist for peace.

 Tells Indira Weaver: Last year, during our first attempt to climb Aconcagua, we met Miguel Doura, an Argentine artist who lives and paints in the base camp. He showed great interest in the culture and traditions of the Kazakh people, and in Kazakhstan in general. Not many representatives of the Kazakh people have visited Aconcagua, and according to our data (from the Internet), only one Kazakh girl, Saphira Kanaeva from Russia, ascended on the summit in 2014.

 So the idea arose to connect two countries and two cultures through art and Aconcagua.

 After the Canaleta, where everyone left backpacks, Jamila and I took turns carrying my backpack, so there was a picture there. At Karipbek's request, after our successful ascent, the painting was donated to Miguel's private collection.   Miguel was pleasantly touched by such a gift from distant Kazakhstan, and in turn decided to draw a picture especially for Karipbek. Fortunately, Valery Myasoedov still returned to the mountain with the final group of the 7 Summits Club and was able to pick up the painting from Miguel. At the moment, the painting is with him in St. Petersburg, and soon Valera will send it directly to Karipbek in the city of Karaganda.

Hello everyone from Argentina! The season is over, the equipment has been sorted out and dried, we are waiting for new participants next year. Guides Andrey Berezin, Dmitry Semenov, Valery Myasoedov, Viktor Volodin and Alexander Dorojukov.

Greetings from the Tango for Cash group! We did it! Yesterday, a day before the program, we climbed on the summit of Aconcagua.  Before that, we looked at the forecasts for a long time, consulted and decided to start a day earlier. And our idea burned out. Today there is wind and snow in the area of the peak. We have already descended to the Plaza de Mulas, rewarded the climbers, and are resting.  Soon there will be Mendoza, steaks and delicious wine.
