    Planning an Aconcagua trip... How hard can it be?

    in Climber's Board

    You can roll in to Mendoza and arrange everything there. Super friendly people. Everything except your overnight gear for a couple nights at Confluencia, the rest up by mules. Pretty easy to arrange logistics. Suggest base camp camping by the refugio, more quiet, less puke/piss (and remember people have been doing that in that base camp site for many years). Helipad will be your a.m. alarm clock. Sense of accomplishment arranging a climb like this, but as for the actual climbing I found that my time in Mendoza was more memorable (wine, steak, beautiful friendly women). If I had it to do over, I'd take the time off/cash for Aconcagua and instead go to Ecuador, Bolivia, or Peru and climb several mountains, eat the guinea pig and buy the poncho ;)

    May be moving up this year, I've spent several years in Anchorage/Girdwood but don't know much about Juneau. Anyone have first hand experience in this town? Curious about the usual ie: climbing, skiing, etc- but also the vibe, housing, culture, schools for when we have kids...
