Aconcagua Trip Report, Videos and Pictures

I have been back home for about a week now after our successful summit of Aconcagua on January 29th. We had a faster than normal climb with the trip being only 19 days and only 10 actually on the mountain itself.

First, discount I want to thank everyone who made a donation to the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund and especially to those who completed their pledge of a penny a foot. Remember that every donation helps and is sincerely appreciated.

I am very excited with the momentum the 7 Summits Climb for Alzheimer’s: Memories are Everything campaign has gained. We are receiving interest from worldwide media after our successful summits on Vinson and now Aconcagua. Of course, with Everest around the corner, things are really heating up! Please tell your friends and family what we are doing.

Let’s talk Everest for a moment. I leave around the end of March once again climbing with International Mountain Guides (IMG). I will be climbing from the Nepal side via the South Col. I continue to train hard for this climb. Obviously Everest is in a different league than any of the other 7 Summits. I am very optimistic that the publicity around this climb will bring in new and larger donations plus increased awareness of Alzheimer’s globally.

As always, I want to acknowledge the support of The Alzheimer’s Immunotherapy Program (AIP) of Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy and Pfizer. Without you guys this would not be happening – all to raise research funds to improve ment and find a cure for Alzheimer’s.

Finally, l want once again welcome a new benefactor to our program – the National Family Caregivers Association . Caregivers are an important part of highlighting the issues around Alzheimer’s and the NFCA will allow us to reach those individuals and organizations who can help make a difference in family caregivers’ lives.

Climb On!

  1. Great pictures and trip report, Alan! Congratulations again. Good luck with the Everest training.

  2. Thanks Dave and all. MC you are right that it was clear above us on the summit and cloudy below but they were forming and dissipating very quickly so I just caught the sky blue for the video! We never got a clear view of the South Face of Aconcagua which is stunning. I hear the Everest summit views are better however 🙂

  3. Alan, just viewed the summit video. From your summit pic, I envisioned the view from the top completely shrouded in clouds. On the contrary, the view was amazing!!! Above the clouds with blue skies above. Doesn’t get much better. Climb On! The big E awaits…
