Aconcagua is the first of the new Rucksack Pocket Summits guidebooks to climbing the seven summits of the world's continents: the books are pocket-sized with wraparound map flap, open-flat binding and waterproof paper.
Of the seven summits, Aconcagua (at 6962 m/22,840 ft) lies second only to Everest. Yet it is surprisingly free of snow and ice, and experienced hikers can reach the roof of the Americas without technical expertise. However, it is one of the world’s highest and toughest treks.
Author Harry Kikstra has summited twice, and explains in detail how to tackle the main trekking routes (Normal and Polish Traverse), as well as giving a useful summary on the technical Polish Glacier route. This pocket-sized book contains all you need to plan and enjoy your summit attempt:
* concise advice from an expert about preparation, planning and choosing your gear
* detailed information about altitude effects and sickness, and how to monitor and prevent them
* fold-out map showing the routes, also enlargement of summit area
* 96 waterproof pages with open-flat binding
* in full colour, with 60 photographs.
