falso de los polacos (false polish) is the route to go. I soloed, and went up false polish and down normal route. the normal route is kind of ugly compared to false polish, is why I say f.p. is better. They're right about the scree, it's like climbing a big pile of gravel - always slipping down, so be ready for that. I put my crampons on only once. let me know if you have questions, send me a message

I heard from several fellow climbers that Aconcagua is like hell because you're mostly climbing on scree... I am also trying to be the youngest to do the 7 summits; I've already have done Kili and Elbrus, and I'm thinking about doing this mountain this December... if you have any advice, please do tell... (I just turned 17)

Good decision. It was my goal to be the youngest to summit the seven summits, at 16 I climbed Denali, then went on to climb Elbrus and Aconcagua (solo) when I was 19 (I'm 22 now). The record was set recently at 21. I abandoned my attempt on it after summitting Aconcagua, I would have finished as I turned 22. Anyways, let me know if you want any advice, just thought you'd be interested in a fellow aspiring record setter. Peace
