- The End of a Long Climbing Day (Emily Johnston)
- Casa Piedra (Peter Bilodeau)
Fun, fairly straightforward days for our groups in Ecuador and on Aconcagua. After a night at the thermal baths of Papallacta, the Ecuador team did a little prepping and a little shopping and headed towards Guaytara for the night. It’s close to Antisana and puts the team in position to head to camp on Antisana tomorrow.
In Argentina, the Aconcagua team put in a good Day 2, as they continued their approach and are now settled in at Casa Piedra for the night. A little precip but not bad. Base camp is the objective for tomorrow, at about 13,600 ft.
