Overview

When the author made a New Year's Facebook post declaring his intent to climb four tall mountains in the Pacific West on a mission to get HIGH in 2017, he couldn't have imagined how the mountaineering bug would bite. Those four mountain climbs led to many international climbs, and eventually to a successful solo climb of Mount Aconcagua in South America. Aconcagua Solo: A Climber's Journey to Reach the Top of the Tallest Mountain in the Americas chronicles the several mountains that the Northern California resident climbed to gain experience in mountaineering, which eventually gave him the confidence and experience level to attempt to climb Mount Aconcagua alone. Aconcagua, located outside of Mendoza, Argentina in the Andes, stands at 22,837 feet/ 6961 meters, is the tallest mountain in the Western and Southern Hemispheres, and is one of the seven summits of the world . The book contains helpful insights into mountaineering throughout the read, which can inform any climber who aspires to climb Aconcagua, either guided or solo.
