napolean dynamite?

Ups, the 2 persons who said the Aconcagua was in Chile are FROM CHILE. Please, Chile has so many beautiful places to be pride. Don't confuse people if you don't want to be called: LIARS.

I'm from Argentina PLEASE, It's INCREDIBLE, if you are watching videos about Aconcagua, you don't know where is exactly this mountain. This is in Mendoza, ARGENTINA. The border is NEAR. But no stone o little stone of the Aconcagua belongs to Chile. Please, read.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAA You're REALLY funny.

Good on ya for taking care of that guy. there's too many ambitious douchebags who lack climbing ethic these days. Doesn't matte how much I invest in a summit, life is more important than pride.

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 %.

[Aodhan Maher]

Its on the border

[climbpissis]

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