Aconcagua (6,962m / 22,841ft) is the highest peak outside Asia and the classic expedition mountaineering objective. A 2-3 week expedition with multiple acclimatization camps, load carries, and a summit push demands multi-month preparation. The normal route is non-technical but the altitude, cold, and duration are extreme.
