Nice rest day at base camp. Plaza Argentina is about 13,600’. The team called in from there on Christmas Eve. Mellow day to rest, sort gear, eat and drink. Burgers were on the menu.   Christmas day will be a big carry to Camp 1, around 16,200’ Heck of a way to spend the holidays. They send Christmas greetings to everyone.
