• SAFETY

  Throughout our history, mountain safety has been one of the three core pillars of our company.
  WhiteFox Adventures maintains the highest standards for commercial practice and safety compliance. We pride ourselves on our safety record. When making decisions organizing expeditions, safety is our primary focus.
  Our maximum team size is 12 climbers with four guides. Small groups with several guides make the climb more enjoyable, safer and give you a higher chance of success.
  All teams have emergency oxygen with them at all times. All guides carry VHF radios to communicate with other guides and Base Camps giving them the ability to get weather forecasts, request additional porters or assistance in case of an emergency.

• HIGH-ALTITUDE PORTERS

  Our porters are extraordinarily responsible and understand the importance of assisting you with your gear up the mountain. At no additional cost, porters are employed to carry part of our climbing gear on the mountain to keep your backpacks at reasonable weights. They will also move human waste and trash back to Basecamps. If you would like to hire additional porters to carry all your gear between camps, you can do so at an extra cost.

• CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT IS DEEPLY ROOTED INTO OUR DNA.

  Much of the experience you will enjoy in our expeditions comes from a proper planning; customer feedbacks and creative thinking.
  We continually re-evaluate the entire process of our expeditions to make every effort we can to enhance the qualities of our itineraries, as well as reduce our impact on the mountain. These translate from small adjustments to our altitude menu to add days to the plan. You can be confident that all of the logistics, down to the minor details, have been double-checked and confirmed. This continued work has allowed us to build upon a standard of excellence and give our clients the consistency they deserve year after year. From the first step to the summit and back, we are there to help you in this fantastic adventure.
  The hardest and most exciting part is that the process is never complete and that everything we hope to accomplish remains a work in progress.
  Fortunately for us, this service ethos in which helping others access and experience a great adventure climbing proved be something of value, and in doing so, we found purpose and satisfaction.

• ACONCAGUA ITINERARY

  High altitude illnesses are seen on a daily basis during the busiest times of the season in Aconcagua. Many of these can be avoided with a good acclimatization program.
  There are many ways to do this, and everyone acclimatizes at a different rate.
  Our itinerary presents an ascent that offers an excellent opportunity for a safe and successful climb of Aconcagua.
  We work bearing in mind the Wilderness Medical Society guidelines, and our itineraries have been tried and tested by more than six thousand climbers over the course of the past 20 years!

  Twenty days itinerary, including two extra days.

  Ascending slowly. Take plenty of time to go up. If you’re breathless, you’re going too fast. For much of the climb on Aconcagua, you should be able to talk comfortably.

  Going light at first. For the first journey above BC keep your load as small as possible. Only carry a charge load once you’re acclimatiTakingrying too much, too quickly will increase your risk of AMS.

  Looking after yourself. Make sure you have enough to eat and drink. Take regular breaks and ensure that you sleep as much as possible! Whatever happens, makes sure you’re comfortable enough to enjoy the mountain!
