Win a Trip to Climb Aconcagua!

Enter now for a chance to win a trip to climb Aconcagua (one of the Seven Summits!) in Argentina with Grajales Expeditions! Also included: ~$7,000 (!) worth of gear from our partners, and $1,000 of airfare from Summit Journal.

Open to US Citizens age 21+ only

We don’t say this lightly: this sweepstakes is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We’re giving away a spot for one lucky person to join a Grajales Expeditions trip to summit Aconcagua, at 6,961 meters the tallest mountain in South America.

Aconcagua is a bucket-list peak for climbers the world over, but accessible enough that you don’t need to be Reinhold Messner. Grajales Expeditions, founded in 1976, is the original Aconcagua guiding company. As the original American climbing magazine, Summit Journal is proud to partner with Grajales to celebrate their 50th anniversary next year.

The winner will also get kitted out head-to-toe with sweet climbing gear and apparel from our brand partners: Mountain Hardwear, Scarpa, Blue Ice, Athletic Brewing, HowNOT2, and the American Alpine Club.
