In about a year from now, I hope to go down to South America to climb
Cerro Aconcagua in the Andes as well as take other excursions.  Have
any mountaineers out there tackled this mountain?  I would like to
get info to plan a successful expedition.  Things like the best ways
of getting down there, how long to plan the expedition, equipment,
climbing routes, special cautions & hazards to be aware of, etc.
Also, any good ideas on the best and effective ways to get into
good enough shape will be appreciated.  Thanks.

I should probably mail this, but other people out there might be 
interested.  There is an article in the July-August, 1985 issue of 
SUMMIT entitled "Aconcagua's Normal Route" by Dan Leeth.  It has
just the sort of information you're looking for:  logistics, 
planning, route description, the works.
