The first good shot of the mountain.
Josh Tapp and team just finished their second approach day on Aconcagua. Fun part about this walk is that the team gets their first full on view of Aconcagua as they approach camp. It’s a pretty exciting time, to look across the Vacas River and then up to see most of the Polish Glacier and the summit. Casa Piedre is typically a little windy and it is tonight. Longer pull tomorrow into base camp at Plaza Argentina. As always, so far, so good.
