Cold Mountain
Josh McDowell called in to let us know that the team did well today in getting up to high camp, C3. They’re settled in, packing, eating, drinking and generally getting ready for a big summit day. They’re in the right position to take advantage of the last of the forecasted “calmer†days for the next several. Let’s hope the forecast holds true and that everyone stays healthy and can put it all together for their summit attempt. Nothing is easy about Aconcagua. It is, perhaps, one of the more underestimated of the Seven Summits. Not technical but quite physically demanding.
Good luck to all.
