It was a carry day yesterday to C1 for Jonathan Schrock and team on Aconcagua. Rest day at base camp today and hopefully moving up to C1 tomorrow.
For Josh McDowell and team in Mexico, it was an acclimatization hike around the area of Paseo de Cortez.
Today they make a carry to high camp on Ixta, returning to Cortez Pass this afternoon and the night spent at the Altzimoni Hut. They’ll move up to high camp tomorrow. Nearby Popo is still smoking after all these years since becoming active again and effectively ending climbing there many years ago.
