Brit has 'leg amputated' in horror climbing accident in Argentina
He remained in intensive care yesterday on a breathing machine with local reports saying doctors were considering transferring him to the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires.
Aconcagua is in the main Andes range and lies 70 miles northwest of Mendoza and just nine miles from Argentina’s border with Chile. The normal route from the route is the easiest with the other routes, especially the south face climb, considered quite difficult. Around 75 per cent of climbers are foreigners, with those from the UK leading the way after Americans and Germans.
British tourist Roger Cookson, 58, died in January 2015 after falling ill as he tried to scale Aconcagua with a friend and local guide.
