From The end of January 2009 till February the 18th (Around 20 days) I'll try to get the top of Aconcagua Solo  :o) I'll try to get the summit (6960 mt) in the Alpine way, without any organized tour and without the help of the mules. For this reason I'll have to carry everything by myself.

It will be a big challenge with myself...

Aconcagua is the highest pick of Americas and the highest in the world if you don't consider the Himalaya. The training was hard. I'll have to carry between 25 and 30 Kg of stuff up to 4.300 mt. Then I'll carry around 18 Kg up 5.800 and only around 7 Kg up to the top.

I don't want any organized tour and I don't want the help of the mules cause I think that if I get it I have to do it by myself. I don't want to play at Wimbledon with Rafael Nadal helping me just behind me...cause if I win it shouldn't be my real victory...if I win I want to win by myself...otherwise it's better to partecipate without winning. I worked very hard to get the top of Aconcagua but if I won't be able to get it....every meter I'll get it will be totally mine.

I am training 5 times per week. I train with a 15 Kg backpack. s lot of floors by stairs, walking and byking. I don't want to charge more than 15 Kg cause I don't want to stress my legs too much during the training....

Next The Logistic...
