  • I climbed on Aconcagua on a 10-day solo expedition last year and it was absolutely one of the greatest things I’ve ever done in my life, but it requires A LOT of planning & preparation to pull off!! 😵‍💫 🏔️comment SUMMIT + I’ll DM you links to my expedition guide + packing list 🏔️ I distilled everything that I learned about solo permits, logistics services, base camp facilities, reading the weather, what to pack, and more into a MASSIVE blog post— which I just updated with new 2025/2026 permit prices and changes to service plans!!— so I’d absolutely recommend anyone planning a solo expedition to check it out: 🔗brookebeyond.com/solo-climbing-aconcagua Before my own expedition, I had the most questions about what gear to bring, so I’ve also written a super detailed packing list with every single item that I wore/used to get me safely to 6,962m without a guide or group (plus what I would add or subtract based on my experience): 🔗brookebeyond.com/aconcagua-expedition-packing-list And finally, I built a GPS map of the exact route, showing all base + high camps and important landmarks— so you can navigate confidently and just focus on the climb!! 🔗shop.brookebeyond.com/b/aconcagua 👉🏼 comment SUMMIT + I’ll DM you links to my expedition guide + packing list!! ——— #aconcagua #7summits #expedition #soloclimbing
  • Oman is home to hundreds of forts and castles, built between the 16th & 18th centuries to defend trade routes, protect villages, and display regional power. Dotted across desert valleys and mountain passes, they’re some of the country’s most striking reminders of its long history as a crossroads of empire and trade! Today, you can wander through maze-like corridors of the perfectly preserved forts, climb narrow staircases to sun-drenched rooftops, and imagine what life might have been like for the soldiers, scholars, and sultans who once lived within these walls. Exploring them became one of the absolute highlights of our road trip, especially those we had entirely to ourselves— a photographer’s paradise of interesting angles and vantage points! 🏰 a few of our favourites: * Nizwa Fort * Samail Fort * Bahla Fort * Jabreen Castle — #oman #nizwa #nizwafort #jabreencastle
