CTSS offers select climbers our “Speed Ascent” option which employs separate, custom logistics and state-of-the-art technology to allow you to summit in less time.

Partnering with Hypoxico, you will use a portable hypoxic altitude chamber that fits over your bed at home in the weeks leading up to the expedition (usually 6-8 weeks) to acclimate your body to the rarefied air and cut valuable days from the standard climbing schedule.

Having pre-acclimatized, you are able to fly directly into Aconcagua Base Camp by helicopter (skipping the long trek in) to meet your guides and teammates.

This option is perfect for those who want to minimize time away from home.

This expedition provides separate speed ascent logistics and support, before folding into the team climb at base camp, specialized Aconcagua guides, food, team gear, transport and a summit attempt on Aconcagua.

* Please note: CTSS will help you book and facilitate your helicopter flight and Hypoxico tent rental, but these costs are excluded and paid directly.

This option is also available on a 1:1 Private Guide & or the Polish Glacier on custom dates. Contact us for further information.

All prices are in US Dollars.
