IMG Senior Guide, Eben Reckord, called in last evening via satellite phone from Penitentes, Argentina. Penitentes will be the last hotel night for our second Aconcagua team. Today, they begin their trek to base camp, called Plaza Argentina. Three days to get there. Mules support this move by carrying all the group gear and food up to this 13,600 ft camp. Bags are packed, everyone is pretty pumped and it’s game time.
Our third expedition will be arriving Argentina on the 17th.
We’re wishing all of them well!
