I’m intrigued by this adventure sport I recently discovered called packrafting… it started by researching what it takes to float the Escalante River from Highway 12 to Lake Powell.
I can so see myself getting into this… and already pricing out boats!
Six months ago today, I stood on top of the tallest peak in the Americas — Aconcagua, Argentina — and it has taken me that long to finish a series of posts about my epic adventure!
This day-by-day trip report is packed with photos, route descriptions, and insights from my own experience. You’ll find everything from what to pack, to what the camps are really like, to why I think the 360° Traverse is the ideal choice.
👉 Lnk in bio!
Whether it’s your first high-altitude climb or you’re adding Aconcagua to your mountaineering resume, the 360° Traverse offers one of the most satisfying ways to stand on the highest point in South America.

My 13th time on this summit, but 1st to enjoy some watermelon at the top 🍉 Thanks to Jocelyn, the "Watermelon Girl", who lugged that all the way up and was gracious enough to share it 😁

Veered right a bit of the South saddle (red line) for a more adventurous route up to Timp... but once we got up on the ridge, we saw we could have done an even more interesting way (yellow line) cutting into that cliff band and zigzagging along the shelves as seen in the 4th picture (taken from South Timp).

Only a few patches of snow remain between Aspen Grove and Emerald Lake.

For those interested in doing Deseret Peak... the snow is still in the couloirs, but only for a little while longer!

The best way to slide down a snowy slope in Spring conditions is like this...

Didn`t get much mountaineering in this Spring, so trying to catch the last bit of something before the snow`s all gone.

Not too many cold weather weekends left to go winter camping!
