Dinner in Mendoza (Eric Remza)
Time to introduce our fifth and final Aconcagua expedition team for the season. Eric Remza, IMG Senior Guide, is at the helm. He is joined from the US by Anna Hicks, and from Argentina, Leandro Villegas. The entire team arrived in Mendoza on Sunday with minimal issues. Only one or two delayed bags.
Final food shopping is complete, permits are in hand and the team is heading today to Penitentes. Gear gets divided there into ‘mules loads’ and the team begins their three day approach to base camp on Wednesday. Wish them luck.
