I'm just wondering if anybody can share what they wore climbing Aconcagua? Head to toe. Thanks

I'm planing a expedition to Ojos Del Salado and maybe some other peaks. (Which I'm looking for partners in March) I was wondering about the cost of food and what's available in Chile and Argentina. I'll be buying certain things before I go. I'm just wondering about day to day?

I know this is a long shot, but I thought I would try anyway...


My friend, Julian Wayne (known as Jules to many), has been missing for over a month now after splitting up from his hiking partner en route to Everest Base Camp. Jules has very little outdoors experience and it appears that his family (and myself) are fearing the worst.




Here is an article from Mounteverst.net:

Anyone interested in climbing Elbrus this August?????......get in touch with me. I am looking forward to climbing with people from every corner of the globe just for something different. Standard route...nice and easy(well....kind of:-) )

So I'm looking forward to spend a week in Asutralia, i will use two days for climbing Kosciuszko and 5 days to tour around Sydney. How do you guys recommend me to climb Kosciuszko? If guided and sightseeing, which company is the best? Also what are some of the most popular attractions in Sydney or surrounding area?

Just some pics of 2 weeks spent in NZ.

1st week based at Kelman Hut and when weather allowed played on Hoschetter Dome and Mt Alymer

2nd week based at Pioneer Hut. Attempted Mt Tasman. We turned around due to lack of efficiency on what was for me extremely icy slopes. Lesson learnt, more time needed crampon-ing on >45 deg ice.

A friend recieved a distressed satellite call from Aconcagua from Jennifer (JJ) Fielding on Monday Feb 2nd. I know that she was with a single guide but I do not know what route she is on. When she called she was at 18,000 ft and had become separated from her guide and a storm was moving in. The batteries on her satellite phone were possibly dying. Does anyone have any information?

Hi there,
Wondering if anybody has climbed Deo Tibba in the Himachal Pradesh region of India before?

Or just if anyone has any info which would be of use?

I am looking to get over there in September and trying to get as much information as possible on the peak itself!

Thanks in advance
