- In Aconcagua, he climbed Aconcagua’s Polish Glacier 5 times (one guiding and fixing ropes), the South Wall and the technical East Glacier.
- You can expect to part with around £3,000-£4,000 (excluding flights) to climb the Polish Glacier route with a commercial tour operator.
- We approach the Polish Glacier via the Ameghino – Upper Guanacos Valley and then traverse the mountain descending via the Normal Route.
- Glacial polish and Bikki. During the Ice Age, the Zermatt glacier extended up to 2,600 metres above sea level.
- The Polish Glacier was named after the first (known) trip to the Upper Vacas Valley, which successfully investigated the area and climbed the glacier.

- For those looking for more of a technical challenge on Aconcagua, we offer an ascent of the advanced Polish Glacier route.
- Climbing Aconcagua over the Direct Polish glacier route is not only a great experience, but also the perfect preparation for Mt.
- For the first time we also offer the more technical Polish Glacier route, and ascent using the beautiful glacier ending right below the summit.
- Route Description. We will continue to approach the Polish Glacier via the Guanacos Valley and traverse the mountain.
- At about 1:00AM, the stoves from the guide’s tents will start running to prepare water and you will depart for your Polish Glacier climb a few hours later.
- This Polish Glacier Route allows you to enjoy a more wild and remote area. Because less than 15% of the climbers come this way, it will be a more solitary ascent.
