Questions about this expedition
Can I rent equipment locally?
Yes, some technical gear (crampons, ice axe, helmet) can be rented in Mendoza — we help arrange it in advance.
What if I don't reach the summit?
Safety matters more than the summit. The guide can call a turnaround at any stage — joining the expedition doesn't guarantee a successful climb.
How is the group formed?
Groups are small and formed by expedition date — the exact lineup is known a few weeks before departure.
Do I need a visa for Argentina?
It depends on your nationality — we'll confirm the requirements individually during your application.
