Argentina

Aconcagua South America's highest mountain

We first climbed this mountain in 1987. Since then, we have climbed multiple routes and explored every valley and ridge. We now offer non-technical and technical ascents on four routes-The Northwest Ridge (The Normal Route), The Polish Traverse and The Polish Direct, and in 2002, in search of new and unexplored ways to get to the top, we opened a new route on the West face, "The Flight of the Condor". All are physically demanding adventures and involve all the complexities of expedition climbing.

Ski South America

Ski Mountaineering is a great way to experience the mountains. The Argentinean and Chilean Andes offer some wonderful skiing opportunities, taking you away from the busy ski runs with long, exciting off-piste runs and scenic tours over high passes and even to mountain summits. For our 4th season of ski mountaineering we continue to offer a varied choice of venues, covering the Central Andes and the Lake District of Argentina and Chile.
