It is a quest to reach the summit of Mt. Aconcagua, “White Sentinel” in the indigenous language, to raise charity funds for the Spanish homeless. The mountain is 6.962 m.a.s.l., located in the Andes range in Argentina, and is the highest mountain in the world outside the Himalayas. It forms part of the “Seven Summits”. The goal is to raise 5.000 euros for the purchase of a Red Cross mobile health center, a refurbished motorhome that covers the health and hygiene needs of the homeless all over the Alicante province in Spain.
The expedition to ascend Mt. Aconcagua will be led by Mr. Thomas Ronning, lawyer, mason and adventurer. He is Norwegian, lives in Spain, and is 42 years old. He has considerable high altitude and expedition experience.
The climb takes place during 20 days in December 2013, with estimated summit date the 15th of December. The climbing route is the “Polish Traverse” on the North East side of the mountain. The approach is done by the Vacas Valley.
Hello, this is Thomas Ronning. I hope you will please donate money or purchase the merchandising available on http://www.gofundme.com/whitesentinelcharityclimb, as to support this charity climb for the homeless in Spain.
