or accidents, there part of the rule for your preparation
and acclimatization which are fundamental to have the
necessary strength to avoid exhaustion during the climbing.
in your climbing training and acclimatizing, your daily
routine must include some exercising that will contribute
to achieve fitness or climb some small mountains, even
more if you have a goal the summit of high mountains
as the Aconcagua or other mountain in south America.

activity to achieve a good physical condition to resist
enough while climbing, the more specific the training,
the better will be the results when climbing the mountain,
in the training you mist know how to use all climbing
materials and part of the first aid in the high altitude
another way of training are involucrate to use your
climbing skills
"Although non-technical, this is a highly challenging
climb and demands more than most other non-technical
climbs (such as certain peaks in the U.S. and Kilimanjaro).
This expedition-style climb requires the carrying of
a heavy pack for multiple days, making prior physical
training of three months or more critical to your success
and enjoyment. We highly recommend our 6-day mountaineering
course for climbers who have not climbed with a 50 lb.
pack or are unsure of the rigors that a climb such as
Aconcagua requires. We stress these points to continue
our high summit success and ensure that teams are well-balanced."

skills are not necessary, it is strongly recommended
that climbers should have completed our 6-day mountaineering
course or the equivalent. |

Physical Conditioning
In the best interest of personal safety, success and
team compatibility, adequate training and excellent
physical condition are required, prior experience carrying
a heavy pack for multiple days serves as excellent preparation
for this climb. Climbers must be able to carry an average
of 50lbs or more and be physically and mentally prepared
to deal with strenuous situations at high altitudes.
Climbers need to be in excellent physical condition
for both personal enjoyment and to be an integral team
member. We encourage you to contact us so that we may
assist you in developing a training program that meets
your particular needs. Porters available upon request.
