Awesome. What an emotional experience for them. I love at the end how they describe their moms voices keeping them going

To correct the record on the disinformation 4 minutes in: The English have famously and historically lost to the Americans at just about all the things. 🇺🇲

What month did you do this, thanks

Excellent video! Aconcagua holds a special place in my heart. Congratulations on summiting. Excellent video!

CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!! CONGRATULATIONS FOR SO MUCH EFFORT AND FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL SUMMIT!!!! They made me relive every minute of the journey. I was in January, I entered Horcones on 01/14, with all the forecasts against it, a lot of people getting off without being able to get there, a lot of wind, very strong and low temperatures. Wednesday 01/24/2024 I crowned the summit in that BEAUTY CALLED ACONCAGUA!!! A long, hard trip, but absolutely UNFORGETTABLE!! In my case, I did it in "traditional mode" only mule service and the rest "self-managed". Beyond everything it is a trip that will forever remain in my memory !! To all those who want to make the trip and are hesitating, I tell you something: "... EVERYTHING SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL IT IS DONE..." Cheer up, money comes and goes, THE "ACONCAGUA" EXPERIENCE in the broad sense, JUSTIFIES EVERY PENNY INVESTED!!! For my part, I want to come back!!!

I've never climbed such a big mountain, but this video make me want to try it out. Your videos really helped to have a change of perspective about my own personal activities. These kind of adventures make me think about how exciting and beautiful it must be going there. Thanks a lot for the video and I hope we can see more of your channel.

Average,... Lots of bucks, not tactical or well executed. Not much experience.

I have never climb but a tiny hill, but damn I love to watch this videos. May be one day! Nice video, thanks for sharing!!

How did you acclimatise to the altitude? Did you have any previous experience over 5000mtrs? I’d love to do this but have zero opportunity to train at these altitudes

Great work - really enjoyed this!

Very nice! Love all motivating words! Mountains is something people in general don’t see the power they are but is a place make you see the insignificant we can be in this 🌍 a perfect connection with universe becose living all this is magnificent

This was fantastic. Great detail. Thank you

If there are videos I love watching are hiking and expeditions🥰 the amount of positivity , encouragement and learning I get is just amazing.. I just love being around hikers and meeting new hikers. This Documentary just reminded me why I hike & why hiking is good for humans🤩

Superstar effort on this video!! Love it!

hi David, great video, may I know what month was the trip, the mountains and summit look dry

David, thanks for the video. I climbed Mt. Aconcagua in 1996, so 28 years ago! Our expedition was guided by Peter Whittaker of RMI. I was just 26 years old at the time. That was before the Internet so we just had snapshot photos on film - no smartphones, no email, no TH-cam. Your video brought back many memories. Our crew of 12 was mostly 50-somethings like your crew, which surprised me - a mid-life crisis group like yours. ;) 5 of us made it, and rest were turned back by our guides, which was very traumatic for them. Some of them had health issues, and we were holed up at Camp 2 for 4 nights waiting for the weather to break, which was very hard on the body. Fun fact: When we finished the climb, everyone from our group flew back to the US, but not me. I had a an around-the-world ticket so I shipped home my climbing gear and went traveling for 6 months via South Africa, Indonesia, New Zealand, Australia, etc. I have since met very few people that have done the climb so it was great to see all the sights - Mendoza, donkeys, the barren Andes, base camp...and that view from the top!

Where can i find the guides to hike Aconcagua ? BTW this is awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Well done! Tkanks a lot for the video and your history in our place, Mendoza. Best Regards

Well shot video, great watch. Congratulations!!!

From India ❤❤❤❤

David, I just finished watching your Aconcagua documentary. It is an EXCELLENT video, my friend; I have booked my expedition for Dec 18th, 2024. Any tips? I just subscribed to your channel as well. Keep climbing

great

Well done, fellas! Thanks for sharing the video. It was great to hear so many personal perspectives. I leave to take on the Polish Glacier direct route in four weeks. I thought you were doing the traverse but I heard people mention fixed lines. Did you do the glacier? If so, how were the ice conditions?

I hope you spent lots of dollars. The local economy needed them!

you pollute de planet cos you have money and you clap yourselves on the back for your great, egoistical achievement. I never leave comments but you are clearly clever guys with money, please be more responsable. Thank you!

Great documentary. How did the mules and donkeys get across the river?

When did you do the expedition? I am going in 3 days and I heard it was pretty windy this season.

Great climb guys 🏔️🇦🇷and fab film 🤠👍 Best regards Simon

Beautiful ""Hermosa expedición Azaña ""Bello video-cumbre del Aconcagua""Felicitaciones.Saludos Abrazos de Montañas....🗻

that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

What is the composition of the rock at summit?

It would be hard to turn around and have to go back when you've put so much into making the climb, physically, mentally, and financially.. So I have great respect for any climber who has to make that decision.

I love how the loud mouthed Britt was the first to fall...natural selection ;-)

Grande montagna, grande avventura, dove la natura silenziosa prende il sopravvento,l'uomo lotta contro il suo corpo per fa sì di realizzare il sogno della vita, di toccare la vetta,di essere un gruppo dove il senso è l'amicizia e il rispetto. Grandi ragazzi siete fantastici. Massimo da Sora ciociaria.

What specifically did you do to train for this trek and how far out did you start training?

Going up with Ian Feb 2025! Great video! 👍

Those donkeys in the beginning; one of the best part in this video

"there is no trucks" ... sitting in the heli ;)

Hello David , amazing video indeed . This is on my target above 5500m ( already did two trips in Nepal up to 5500m ) . I wanted to ask a question regarding the itinerary, do they Abide to not more of 500 m Climb per day and every 1000 m , they take a rest day ?above 3000 m.Your team member that got HAPE , it’s a sign of going too fast in altitude ?

This is a very comprehensive documentary well done all involved. Looks fab

I learned that some geography classes in certain other countries teach people that Aconcagua & Denali are on the same continent.
