Don't worry, the mountain will be there for your next attempt.
We plan to go down next year to climb Ojos del Salado, so your trip report it is realy good info for us.
Thks and god luck.
Reaching the summit is always a bonus, but never guaranteed. I plan to climb this peak in the next few years, so your report is illuminating. Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated!
..Having come within 400 m of the summit of Aconcagua while you were doing this. Camping at 5200 meters on Day 6 is out of the question for me since I live at sea level. I would have blown lunch,dinner and everything else the first night on the Mountain of Dead Mules. Thank you for the report.
it´s a interesting report,
Whenever you want to start a mountanieering expedition, like Ojos del Salado Volcano or Mount Aconcagua, the best recomendation it´s to planning a previous trip around [4,000 - 5,500] m.s.n.m. We have differents options like El Plomo (5,432 m.), San José (5,850 m.) , Marmolejo (6,100 m.) near to Santiago City. Let´s the office off with an easy trip first and you will adap to the altitude and physical requirement.

The highest volcano........on earth sounds like a lofty goal! I would agree that arriving home safely is also a good goal.
Thanks for sharing your story and photos!

Thanks for the recent trip reportI didn't see this before when I checked Ojos on here. Thanks for the updated report.
How much did it cost you to be guided? I'm trying to get some people to go, but if no one can come then I'd take a guide.
