Aconcagua by Harry Kikstra
Of the seven continental summits, Aconcagua in Argentina is second only in height to Everest; despite this, it is suprisingly free of snow and ice, and experienced hikers can reach the roof of the Americas without technical expertise. This book explains how to tackle one of the world's highest and toughest treks."Lightweight, yet packed with practical information, this book will help you all the way to the summit" Jaime Vinals, a seven-summiteer who has climbed Aconcagua 8 times"
