I am going to Aconcagua in January 05 - is anyone out there also contemplating being in the area around that time? Grateful for any contacts.

Will be in NZ January then planning S America Feb/Mar. Personally not wildly enthusiastic about Aconcagua, especially the standard route, (sounds too crowded) but realise it might be the easiest to find climbing partners for. Drop me an email and try posting on the AMIN site as well.

Thanks beefy for your reply - yes i'm wanting to do the polish gacier line (just which line depends on conditions and my self assessment at the time). Yes i've heard there are usually opportunities to hook up with others - i'll keep the name rudy in mind. Cheers - Murray.

Thanks for your reply - no, not the normal but the polish glacier - its said to be a much more pleasant side of the mountain and with opportunities to hook up with other climbers too - i'm sure it'll still be crowded tho. Cheers and good luck on your travels, Murray.
