That's high!

How long did you have to acclimate? What altitude effects did you suffer?

Re: That's high!

Back then I was very well acclimatized, but I spent the last couple weeks prior to Aconcagua climbing above 18,000 ft - 20,000 ft.in Ecuador. I summited 3x Cotopaxi and 2x Chimborazo prior my trip down to Argentina. I spent 9 days on the road, though at sea level.

I didn't suffer any altitude effects whatsoever. I was well acclimatized!
