ACONCAGUA EXPEDITION
After the success of our 2019 expedition, Everest One is heading back to Mendoza, Argentina for another climb of Aconcagua again in 2020. The highest mountain outside of Asia and the 2nd highest mountain of the 7 summits.
We will be climbing with expert local guides, through our partnership with one of the most professional and accomplished companies in South America, to bring you this amazing opportunity.
If standing on the highest mountain outside of the Himalayas, whilst taking in incredible views of the Andes excites you, then Aconcagua is waiting for you and will be a trip of a lifetime.
We already have a high level of interest to join this expedition and will be taking a maximum group size of 12 climbers.
Famed for its red wines and amazing steaks, we won't be spending the entire trip in the Argentina mountains, however!
To join, you do not require any previous climbing experience but you will need to be very fit, have a great sense of adventure along with the right preparation and gear for the conditions.
