Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Soaring to 6,960 meters, this peak is the tallest outside Asia and the highest point in both the Western and Southern Hemispheres. Climbers tackle its slopes from the dry, rocky north face or the icy south face, facing a mix of challenges.
Destacados: Scaling this mountain rewards adventurers with a panoramic view of the Andes that stretches over 200 kilometers on clear days. A unique challenge here involves the extreme altitude combined with surprisingly mild weather swings, allowing climbs nearly year-round.
Consejos de expertos
- Dress in layers with windproof and insulated clothing to adapt to rapid weather changes.
- Capture sunrise views from Plaza de Mulas for spectacular light on the summit.
- Avoid the south face unless highly experienced due to its technical ice climbing demands.
- Visit early morning to avoid afternoon winds and crowds at base camp.
