That's a great thing you did helping that stranded climber! I too was on Aconcagua in 2007 and I too did not summit. I know how hard it is to take care of yourself at altitude, let alone someone else. Great job! I plan to head back for 2012/2013 season. You mentioned in the description that you developed HAPE but I didn't hear you describe HAPE symptoms. What HAPE symptoms were you experiencing?

Aconcagua peak is 15 km from chilean border, the border between Arg and Chile is the water division, and Aconcagua it´s not a water divider. Caracoles mountain divides water at that site, deriving water to the pacific, Aconcagua water descends to the Atlantic.

Aconcagua in the border? please learn geography, Aconcagua is in ARGENTINA 100 %.

@ALEJANH Its on the border

@4ff1976 No. Aconcagua is entirerly in Argentina. There is not a rock of this mountain located in Chile.

I've just come back from Aconcagua. It was an amazing experience, but I too decided to turn around. I got to a little over 20 000 feet when I got quite sick and got caught in a huge snow storm. It was a harrowing descent, but I don't regret turning back. Life is more important than any summit. I'd go back any day though!
