Take a personal journey with this young filmmaker, as he heads to Argentina to attempt a climb of Aconcagua—the tallest peak in South America. Along the way, we’ll get some spectacular shots of the mountain, while getting wisdom and insight into what it takes to summit this mountain. At 6960 meters (22,837 ft) in height, this is the highest peak outside of the Himalaya, bringing beauty and challenge to anyone who gives it a go. And while this video is a little rough around the edges compared to some that we’ve seen lately, that adds to its charm and appeal.
