About Allissa’s Adventure
Allissa is back for a second summit bid of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas, the highest outside Asia, the highest in the Southern Hemisphere, and one of the Seven Summits. Aconcagua has a summit elevation of 22,838 feet.
In 2022, COVID-19 derailed her first summit bid, and in a heartbreaking series of events, her team was forced to evacuate only 6 days into their expedition. In January 2023, Allissa will be climbing with Sunny Stroeer on an all-women’s team! This will be Allissa’s fourth of the Seven Summits.
