- Dinner in Mendoza-Rikki Dunn
Time to send off another Aconcagua expedition for the season!
Rikki Dunn and Martin Lucero have met the team, shopped, finished packing and are already in Penitentes. They are ready to begin the approach to base camp tomorrow. Three days of walking and they’ll be at 13,600’; that’s when things get serious and the real work begins.
We’ll follow the crew as they work their way up through three additional camps before taking a shot at the summit. Aconcagua is a tough one. Here’s wishing them good health and a little luck!
