Level of requirement - Graduation of difficulties.

Graduation of this climb to Aconcagua in 12 days: M3-F5-T2-P5-A5

In our trekking programs, trekking trips and mountaineering / ascensionism, we have defined the graduation from 1 to 5, in the four points that we consider decisive: backpack, physical, technical and psycho (Psychological).

Backpack (M): This point has to do with the weight that we must carry in our backpacks. Trekkings or crossings where we have pack animals, which allows us to bear less weight on our backs. And the multi-day journeys in Patagonia (without the option of having pack mules) generally make us carry more weight, especially in the early days.

Physical (F):We consider physical demands to wear that we can suffer both aerobic (climbs = possible shortness of breath) and muscular (resistance = many hours walking) and joints (descents = knees / ankles).

Technical (T): The technical difficulty is mainly based on the terrain. How much can it cost us to climb a slope, if it is very steep or if we have to use our hands in some section (simple climbing), both on rock and snow-ice, or materials such as crampons and ice axes on other ascents.

Psycho (P):We maintain that this point, the psychological factor, especially in ascents, represents a relevant factor. Each one needs a factor of conviction, confidence, self-control and will power to achieve a goal. And depending on the attitude with which we face distances, slopes, terrain and many other objective factors, we can achieve performance with very different results.

Altitude (A):It is the factor that height above sea level influences us based on the activity we carry out. Managing and overcoming symptoms caused by altitude is the key to this point.
