Mercedario (6770m, + 9 days)

Climb this 6,700m+ / 22,000 ft+ Mercedario

summit in combination with Aconcagua - min. 4 members (please request early)

Mercedario is a great opportunity for those adventurous climbers who prefer remote and challenging peaks. Mercedario is the 7th highest in the Andes and not often climbed as Aconcagua. There aren’t permanent services up there so we have to bring everything like a Himalayan expedition. The Mercedario Climb the perfect combination for those who already climbed Aconcagua, in preparation for Aconcagua, and want more adventure. The normal route isn’t technical at all and does not require an ice ax. It is however quite steep towards the end. Our acclimatization plan has proved to work many times and we normally use a total of 4 camps up to 5930m.
