Base Camp
The team arrived at Plaza Argentina, base camp on Aconcagua today. Wasn’t the most pleasant weather (snowing) but they got the job done. Tomorrow they rest and then the work begins. The team will establish 3 camps above base, each about 2,000 vertical feet higher than the previous camp, before making their summit attempt. That’s still a ways off but things now start to get a bit more serious.
Congrats to the crew for putting in three good approach days. Their journey continues.
