Aconcagua 6962 Meter / Argentien Dec. 1998
Climbing partnerin:Dr. Andrea Lakatos This is my second time on Aconcagua. We started from Santiago de Chile and drove by a CATA Bus to Puente del Inca. At that time, fortunately we could arrange everything in Puente del Inca, inclusive a climbing permit. We took 16 days, started from Puente del Inca, climbed the Regular Route of Acancagua, and returned to Puente del Inca. And we spent a extra excellent day in Base Camp, because of the Charismas Party. It's the biggest event of the year in Base Camp and to be cause for celebration!
