Success on Aconcagua » AconcaguaTraverse6500m
Long traverse at 6,500 m to reach the Canaleta and later the summit
While technically easy this traverse was very cold due to strong winds and at 6,500 m I was no longer able to walk in a steady, nonstop rhythm. Instead, after every 10 steps or so I needed to pause and catch my breath. Progress becomes very slow and memory somewhat blurry – hypoxia starts creeping up on you…
