The aim is to climb to 6962 m and return to camp. It is the most critical day of the programme, but its outcome is decided by everything that came before: acclimatisation, recovery, food and drink, equipment and the weather.<\/p>\n<p>This day cannot be treated as a separate race that a strong athlete will pull off by force of will. At altitude, conserving energy and holding a pace matter more than speed at the start.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-scroll\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Stage<\/th>\n<th>The main task<\/th>\n<th>The main mistake<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Evening at C\u00f3lera, 6000 m<\/td>\n<td>Get everything ready before sleep and report how you feel<\/td>\n<td>Leaving the packing until the night<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The start<\/td>\n<td>Set off at the guide&#8217;s pace and avoid getting chilled<\/td>\n<td>Speeding up out of excitement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gaining height<\/td>\n<td>Keep eating, drinking and staying coordinated<\/td>\n<td>Hiding symptoms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The decision to continue<\/td>\n<td>Weigh the time, the weather and the reserve for the descent<\/td>\n<td>Treating the nearness of the summit as an argument<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The summit, 6962 m<\/td>\n<td>Keep the stop short and start down<\/td>\n<td>Treating the job as finished<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The return to C\u00f3lera<\/td>\n<td>Stay alert and recover<\/td>\n<td>Stopping eating, drinking and checking your gear<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Preparation the evening before<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Get the start time and the order of movement from the guide.<\/li>\n<li>Check the forecast and the decision that has been taken about the attempt.<\/li>\n<li>Fit your crampons and lay out the technical equipment.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare every layer of clothing, goggles, face mask and mitts.<\/li>\n<li>Check the headlamp and the spare batteries.<\/li>\n<li>Get drinks and food ready that you can handle with gloves on.<\/li>\n<li>Tell the guide how you feel before you sleep, not in the morning as you set out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Packing a rucksack at night in the wind wastes both time and warmth. Critical items must have a permanent place, and warm clothing should go on without unpacking the whole tent.<\/p>\n<h2>The start and the first few hours<\/h2>\n<p>You set off in the dark and the cold. The main mistake is to accelerate out of excitement or because another group is ahead. The pace is set by the guide, according to the state of the team and the time. Stops need to be short enough to eat, drink and adjust clothing without becoming deeply chilled.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-scroll\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>What you notice<\/th>\n<th>The right response<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>You are too hot<\/td>\n<td>Take a layer off before you sweat heavily<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Your hands are cold<\/td>\n<td>Say so and add insulation before you lose function<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>You do not feel like eating<\/td>\n<td>Use food you tested beforehand<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Your pace has dropped sharply<\/td>\n<td>Tell the guide; do not hide it<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>A problem with a crampon<\/td>\n<td>Stop when told to and refit it<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>A symptom is getting worse<\/td>\n<td>Do not wait for the next long stop<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Altitude and the criteria for continuing<\/h2>\n<p>The higher the group gets, the more time every action costs. What is assessed is pace, coordination, the ability to follow instructions, the state of hands and feet, symptoms, the weather and the reserve left for the descent. Being close to the summit does not suspend the criteria for turning back.<\/p>\n<p>The guide can stop one climber or the whole team. A programme you have paid for, summits you have done before and personal motivation are not arguments against that decision. Getting back safely matters more than reaching a figure on the map.<\/p>\n<h2>On the summit<\/h2>\n<p>The time spent on the summit is limited by the weather and by how people are. You keep adding insulation, keep control of your equipment and follow instructions. The summit is the halfway point of the task: ahead lies the descent to C\u00f3lera, when fatigue is already at its greatest.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the descent demands attention<\/h2>\n<p>On the way down, concentration and precision of movement fall away. It is tempting to speed up or to stop eating and drinking. Keep your spacing, use poles and technical equipment as the guide directs, watch your crampon bindings and do not leave the group.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not treat the decision as settled once and for all after setting out.<\/li>\n<li>Do not hide cold, weakness or loss of coordination.<\/li>\n<li>Do not take off critical layers for the sake of a photograph.<\/li>\n<li>Do not spend your whole reserve of energy on the way up.<\/li>\n<li>Do not relax until you are back in camp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to prepare in advance<\/h2>\n<p>Long training walks help, as do two hard days back to back, early starts, work in crampons and practice at eating on the move. You also need to rehearse choosing layers quickly: changing clothing should not happen for the first time at 6000 m.<\/p>\n<p>The sequence of the 17-day expedition is published on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.pro\/tours\/climbing\/aconcagua\/\">programme page<\/a>. Before the trip, read about <a href=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.pro\/2024\/11\/01\/aconcagua-acclimatisation-and-altitude-safety\/\">acclimatisation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.pro\/2026\/07\/27\/aconcagua-equipment-list\/\">equipment<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.pro\/2024\/11\/15\/aconcagua-weather-and-season\/\">the weather<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.pro\/2026\/07\/27\/why-aconcagua-ascents-fail\/\">the reasons people turn back<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>The decision points<\/h2>\n<p>The decision to continue is not taken once, at the tent door. The guide assesses the team at the start, after the first few hours, whenever the weather changes, and before any section beyond which a safe return would take longer. You need to understand that turning back is possible at any moment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-scroll\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>What is assessed<\/th>\n<th>Why it matters<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Pace<\/td>\n<td>Whether there is enough time and energy for the climb and the descent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Coordination<\/td>\n<td>Whether movement is still safe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hands and feet<\/td>\n<td>Whether there is dangerous chilling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Food and drink<\/td>\n<td>Whether performance is being sustained<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weather<\/td>\n<td>Whether wind and visibility are deteriorating<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The team<\/td>\n<td>Whether it is possible to continue with the group as it stands<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Food and drink without experiments<\/h3>\n<p>Appetite can fall at altitude, so test your food on long training walks. You want small portions that are easy to get at and easy to eat with gloves on. A new product, energy drink or supplement on summit day introduces uncertainty you do not need.<\/p>\n<h3>The psychological load<\/h3>\n<p>Darkness, cold and slow progress all sharpen the feeling that the group &#8222;is not going to make it&#8220;. Comparing yourself with other teams is almost always harmful: their schedule, acclimatisation and condition are different. It helps to decide in advance that you will follow your own guide and judge only your own progress.<\/p>\n<h3>After getting back to C\u00f3lera<\/h3>\n<p>Straight after the descent the task is to get warm, restore fluids and food, report how you are and get ready for the next day. Even a successful summit does not do away with the need for a safe descent through the lower camps and the walk out of the park.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check your hands, your feet and whether any equipment has been lost.<\/li>\n<li>Do not hide a deterioration after the descent.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your sleeping set dry.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the leader&#8217;s plan for the next stage.<\/li>\n<li>Do not celebrate in a way that disrupts the team&#8217;s recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What cannot be promised in advance<\/h2>\n<p>No universal start time, turnaround point or duration of ascent can be set for every expedition. These decisions depend on the weather, the condition of the route, the make-up of the team and the pace on the day. Precise instructions come from the guide on the spot.<\/p>\n<p>The two contingency days in the 17-day programme do not amount to two guaranteed attempts. The reserve may be used earlier, and after a hard day out or a deterioration in someone&#8217;s condition the right decision will be to descend. The summit is not part of the price as a guaranteed result.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about summit day<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I go faster if I feel good?<\/h3>\n<p>Pace is agreed with the guide. Speeding up early can burn the reserve you need higher up and on the way down. Feeling good at the start does not cancel the altitude of the hours to come.<\/p>\n<h3>Are crampons compulsory?<\/h3>\n<p>Crampons are on the programme list, but whether they are actually used depends on the snow and ice. The guide decides. Either way, you must have a compatible set and be able to put it on quickly.<\/p>\n<h3>Which matters more when turning back, the time or how you feel?<\/h3>\n<p>What is weighed is the combination of time, pace, condition, weather and the reserve left for the descent. No single factor is used as a universal threshold for every expedition.<\/p>\n<h2>Summit day begins before the start<\/h2>\n<p>The decision is built out of the preceding nights, the acclimatisation cycles and the rest at Plaza de Mulas. If you arrive at C\u00f3lera already exhausted, packing your rucksack late will not fix the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The evening briefing confirms the make-up of the team, the order of movement, communications, clothing, the technical kit and the reasons for turning back. Ask your questions before you go to sleep.<\/p>\n<h2>The phases of the day and how priorities shift<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-scroll\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Phase<\/th>\n<th>Priority<\/th>\n<th>What not to do<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Packing up<\/td>\n<td>Warmth, light and the complete kit<\/td>\n<td>Looking for things after the group has left<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The first hours<\/td>\n<td>An even pace and adjusting layers<\/td>\n<td>Competing with another team<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The upper section<\/td>\n<td>Coordination, time and reserves<\/td>\n<td>Hiding a deterioration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The summit<\/td>\n<td>A short stop and the start of the descent<\/td>\n<td>Removing essential insulation for a photograph<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The descent<\/td>\n<td>Spacing, food and attention<\/td>\n<td>Going on ahead on your own<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Pace and the reserve for the return<\/h2>\n<p>A fast start creates no useful reserve if the pace then collapses. The guide is judging not a record set in the first hours but whether the whole group can continue and get down within a safe decision.<\/p>\n<p>No universal turnaround time can be taken from an article. It depends on the start, the route, the snow, the wind, and the make-up and condition of the team.<\/p>\n<h2>Hands, feet and cold<\/h2>\n<p>Numbness, loss of function or being unable to handle your own equipment must be reported at once. Insulation is added before deep chilling sets in, and tight layers must not constrict the hand or the foot.<\/p>\n<p>The guide judges whether you can continue. Motivation and the nearness of the summit do not restore function to frozen extremities.<\/p>\n<h2>Crampons and ice axe<\/h2>\n<p>Whether they are used depends on the snow and ice. The kit is taken according to the programme list and the team&#8217;s decision. Crampons are fitted at Plaza de Mulas and checked again before the start.<\/p>\n<p>If a binding works loose, say so and stop when told to. Carrying on with a faulty crampon to save time is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<h2>Food and water through the day<\/h2>\n<p>Small tested portions are kept where you can reach them without unpacking everything. Do not wait for real hunger or thirst; follow the team&#8217;s plan rather than a universal scheme found online.<\/p>\n<p>If you cannot eat or drink, that is important information about your condition, not a domestic detail. A new energy drink or medicine is not introduced on the day of the attempt without medical grounds.<\/p>\n<h2>If the group splits<\/h2>\n<p>The leader decides who continues, who descends, with which guide, with what communications and at what meeting point. Climbers do not form a sub-group of their own accord.<\/p>\n<p>The arrangement has to keep enough support both for the ascent and for the descent. No one is left waiting alone at altitude without a clear plan.<\/p>\n<h2>Communication within the team<\/h2>\n<p>Before the start you know how to call your guide, who is leading and who is at the back, what to do at a halt and how information about a problem is passed on. An ordinary mobile signal is not a system for managing a group.<\/p>\n<p>A report has to be specific: what has changed, when it started, whether the person can move and use their hands. Saying &#8222;I&#8217;m fine&#8220; when you are visibly worse costs the team time.<\/p>\n<h2>The medical limits of this article<\/h2>\n<p>This material does not prescribe medication and does not set a personal pulse rate, oxygen saturation or universal symptom threshold. Those questions are for a doctor and for the leader, each within their own competence.<\/p>\n<p>A reading from a watch or a pulse oximeter is considered together with behaviour, coordination and how things are developing. One &#8222;good&#8220; number does not cancel a deterioration.<\/p>\n<h2>The weather changes during the attempt<\/h2>\n<p>The forecast before you sleep is a starting point, not a guarantee. The guide watches the wind, the temperature, the visibility, the cloud and the state of the surface as the day goes on. A change may require the whole group to turn back.<\/p>\n<p>Do not argue by citing an app on your phone. Conditions on the spot and a safe margin matter more than an old forecast screen.<\/p>\n<h2>Photographs on the summit<\/h2>\n<p>Phone and camera come out only when you are told, and never delay the descent. Insulation, gloves and safety procedures take priority. Do not move away from the group for a shot of your own.<\/p>\n<p>If the weather or people&#8217;s condition rules out a stop, the summit may pass without a proper photo session. That does not change the fact of the ascent and is no reason to stay longer.<\/p>\n<h2>When fatigue shows itself on the descent<\/h2>\n<p>After the summit you may misjudge your speed, your spacing and the state of your legs. Keep eating, drinking and adjusting your clothing, do not take your crampons off until the guide says so, and report every fall or injury.<\/p>\n<p>Getting back to C\u00f3lera does not always end the team&#8217;s movement for that day or the next stage. Ration your energy for the whole plan, not just as far as the tent.<\/p>\n<h2>When the attempt does not begin<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes the decision is taken at C\u00f3lera itself: someone&#8217;s condition, the weather, damaged equipment or an insufficient margin makes setting out unwise. In that case there is no early turnaround, because the group does not start the climb at all.<\/p>\n<p>Not setting out does not mean the reserve automatically creates a new attempt. First comes an assessment of the cause, of whether it can be put right, of the team&#8217;s recovery and of the time available.<\/p>\n<h2>Personal readiness in the morning<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>You can dress and pack your rucksack unaided<\/li>\n<li>You are able to eat and prepare water<\/li>\n<li>There is no hidden deterioration since the evening<\/li>\n<li>Boots, crampons and headlamp are in working order<\/li>\n<li>You understand the order of movement and the communications<\/li>\n<li>You are prepared to turn back without argument<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Being unable to do ordinary things at altitude is important information. Another climber may help with a single buckle, but constant hidden help distorts the assessment of readiness.<\/p>\n<h2>What the guide does and what the climber does<\/h2>\n<p>The guide sets the pace, takes route decisions, monitors conditions and organises any splitting of the group. The climber reports their condition honestly, follows instructions, looks after their own equipment and does not go off alone.<\/p>\n<p>Neither side guarantees the summit. The professional outcome of the day is a safe decision based on the real conditions, including calling a halt in good time.<\/p>\n<p>If the team is using several guides, the division of roles and sub-groups is announced before the start. You know whose instructions you follow on the way up and who accompanies you if you turn back.<\/p>\n<p>That structure has to stay clear in poor visibility, in fatigue, and if the order of movement has to be rearranged.<\/p>\n<p>It is confirmed at the final briefing.<\/p>\n<h2>Turning back as a route decision<\/h2>\n<p>The cause may be a climber&#8217;s condition, the pace, the weather, visibility, the state of the terrain or the situation within the group. Sometimes each factor on its own is tolerable, but together they wipe out the margin.<\/p>\n<p>Turning back is not discussed as a vote. Once the instruction is given, you follow the order of descent and go on reporting how you are.<\/p>\n<h2>Contingency days and a second attempt<\/h2>\n<p>Having a reserve does not guarantee a second outing. After a hard day it takes an assessment of recovery, of the food and fuel remaining, of the weather and of whether the camps can safely be rearranged.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to try again rests with the leader. You do not save your strength by refusing to do a compulsory part of the first attempt in favour of a personal plan for tomorrow.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens after C\u00f3lera<\/h2>\n<p>Even after you return, the descent through the lower camps and the walk out to Plaza de Mulas remain. Equipment is dried, checked and redistributed; report a lost item before packing up.<\/p>\n<p>After the summit it is easy to underestimate your fatigue. The next day&#8217;s stage is done according to the team&#8217;s plan, not according to a wish to get down faster.<\/p>\n<h2>How to record the experience after the expedition<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The altitudes and the length of the nights<\/li>\n<li>The timing and conditions of the attempt<\/li>\n<li>Clothing and how the glove system worked<\/li>\n<li>Food and water<\/li>\n<li>Symptoms going up and after the descent<\/li>\n<li>The reason for turning back, or your condition after the summit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A record like that is more useful than the single line &#8222;I have been on Aconcagua&#8220; when you come to choose your next altitude project.<\/p>\n<h2>Final checklist before sleep<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>You have told the guide honestly how you are.<\/li>\n<li>The rucksack is packed and checked.<\/li>\n<li>The crampons fit the boots.<\/li>\n<li>All the layers work together.<\/li>\n<li>The headlamp and the spares are in order.<\/li>\n<li>Food and water are within reach.<\/li>\n<li>You understand the order of movement and the reasons for turning back.<\/li>\n<li>A margin has been left for the whole descent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Weighing up summit day before you book?<\/strong> See how it fits into the acclimatisation and the contingency days of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.pro\/tours\/climbing\/aconcagua\/\">17-day Aconcagua programme<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Fact-checked: 17 August 2026.
