\"Team<\/a>

Team on the summit of Aconcagua (Ben Kurdt)<\/p><\/div>\n

Did you happen to notice a couple of weeks ago that dates have been set for Aconcagua 2014\/15 departures<\/a>?\u00c2\u00a0 That means that now is the time to consider carefully your Aconcagua plans for next season.\u00c2\u00a0 As everyone knows, Aconcagua isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a technical mountain but it is a very physical mountain.\u00c2\u00a0 Spring, summer and fall are great times to work on conditioning and start assembling your personal gear.\u00c2\u00a0 Conditioning takes time.\u00c2\u00a0 We don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to go out and kill ourselves any given day but we do have to push and, more importantly, we do have to be consistent.\u00c2\u00a0 Nothing is more important to your safety, success and enjoyment of a climb than being in the best condition possible.\u00c2\u00a0 And, getting outside with a pack on and hiking uphill is the best \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsports specific\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 training there is.\u00c2\u00a0 Nothing to it but to do it.<\/p>\n

Climb with IMG on Aconcagua if you want to be part of a team, from start to finish.\u00c2\u00a0 Both US-based IMG guides will meet you in Mendoza as will our Argentine guide.\u00c2\u00a0 We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve worked with two sensational Argentinians from Mendoza who are super strong, speak English well, have great contacts with the Park and are simply dynamite companions.\u00c2\u00a0 Then, we look for climbers who want to be contributing team members and want to actually \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcclimb\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Aconcagua.\u00c2\u00a0 Too often these days, more and more guide services are trying to sell Aconcagua as a glorified trekking trip.\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a serious mountain that demands strong, committed climbers.<\/p>\n

If that sounds like you and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re anxious to climb the mountain as part of a unified team, give us a call.\u00c2\u00a0 The satisfaction you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll feel is proportional to the effort you make.<\/p>\n
