Aconcagua Group Training

A Mountain Based Approach to Training

We climb as group, why not train as a group?

This is a new opportunity to join others from around the world as a support team to help with the months of preparation that lead up to an expedition. There are a lot of commonalities amongst climbers and those who aspire to challenge themselves in the mountains. Meet those from different cities and learn about how the long journey before the trip begins can enhance the overall trip.
