Congrats, impressive climb in a short time.i'm planning to do solo climb also and was wondering what is the name of the tent you used? I see it's a three poles tent.
Hi! That’s awesome. On this trip I used the Helsport Himalaya X-trem 2. It’s not in production anymore, and it’s too heavy compared to available options tbh. I now use Samaya Assaut2 8K and Samaya Radical1 for big mountain stuff. Used them in the Himalayas this spring and would recommend Samaya if you are looking for lightweight alpine tents.
Congratulation for your solo trip and your dedicated commitment. I am planning solo climb at end of January. I have few questions. Did you booked Basic logistic service with Inka? How was your experience? Did you sent all your gears and supplies to Plaza de Mulas? Or you splitted the Load? How much was night temperatures in higher camp? I am planning to take one sleeping Bag rated -8C for Basecamp and other -20C for higher camps.
Thanks! Yes, I booked base camp services with Inka. It included transport from Mendoza, mules to Confluencia and Plaza de Mulas, food in confluencia and BC. Inka did a good job I’d say. I’d use them again :) regarding sleeping bag, I used Mountain Equipment Iceline (-30C). I just open the zipper in lower camps. A -20C bag would have been sufficient for me on my trip, but the weather may be different when you get there. Hard to tell. Wish you all the best 🤙🏻
Hi! It took 11 days to the summit and 13 in total. 1: confluencia 2: plaza francia + return to confluencia 3: BC 4: rest in BC 5: carry to camp Canada + return to BC 6: camp Canada 7 carry to Nido de Condores + return to Canada 8: moved to Nido de Condores 9: rest in Nido de Condores 10: cólera 11: summit + back to colera 12: return to BC 13: back to mendoza
Hi Roman! I used the Mountian Equipment Iceline (-30C/-22F) sleeping bag. Aconcagua isn't that cold, so you could bring something lighter, but I'd recommend a bag between -20C and -30C.
@@evensverdrup961 Hey Even. One more question if you don't mind! How much of water did you have to carry from the start? Was there a chance to refill by melting the snow?
Hi Roman! There is running water in confluencia and in basecamp. Above basecamp you either have to carry or melt snow. Usually you’ll find enough snow, but it has been very little snow in recent years. That being said, you will most likely find snow, you just have to go further to retrieve it ;)
@@moti0nlesswayfaring The reason why I mentioned this on a fair amount of Denali & Aconcagua vids is because I was surprised to learn that different countries have different geography curriculums & people from those countries get oddly smug & defensive about their world views. Go to Perma Travel’s Aconcagua vid for smug people telling him that Denali & Aconcagua are “on the same continent”.
No, it’s not mandatory, and I did it without. However, you are taking a risk. Many people get High altitude sickness. And it can suddenly happen with few warning signs. If you get altitude sickness and have noone to rescue you, you might be in serious trouble. Only go without guide if you are experienced and willing to accept that risk.
@@evensverdrup961 Thank you for your reply.I went in March to Pico de Orizaba ( 5636 m)solo and had altitude sickness but after acclimatization I feel good.
Thank you for recording this and sharing it. I’m preparing to climb Aconcagua
Good luck with your adventure! Take it slow and steady, and you’ll reach the summit. Have a blast! 😄
My goodness what a hike! The views were worth the stretch. Thanks for making this outstanding content available to us.
Thanks!🤙🏼
Inspirerende! Bra jobba med både film og prestasjon!
Takk for det, Kim! Masse lykke til med prosjektet ditt 🤙🏼
Thank you for sharing. I am going to Aconcagua this December.
That’s great! I wish you a fun and safe trip! 🤙🏻
Helt rå film Even og takk for en fantastisk tur!😀
Takk for turen, ja! Fantastisk å ha møte en så blid gjeng hver gang jeg nådde ny camp ;)

Hei. Veldig flott video! Er det noen måte å kontakte deg på? Jeg har vært på Kilimanjaro, og sikter meg inn på Aconcagua. Mvh. Gard.
Hei! Send meg gjerne en melding på Instagram :)
What was your sleeping bag rated for?

@@evensverdrup961 running water, wow, interesting! that's very helpful, thank you very much for the info!
I heard that some geography classes teach people that Aconcagua & Denali are on the same continent.
Is this some inside joke that I’m not getting? I see your comment on every Aconcagua vid.

It’s no easy climb it alone, very strong bro☀️⛰💪🏽
Nice video man,! what month was your expedition?
Hi Brian! Thanks 🙌🏻 I started 1st of January, summited the 11th.
You don't need hire guide ?Congratulation that you made it regardless how you felt.
