- Sulfur pond below Camp 2 (Stu Johnson)
Stu Johnson checked in from Aconcagua to report that the team made a successful move up to Camp 2 (17,953 ft) where they are tucked in and doing well. Their plan is to take a well-deserved acclimatization and rest day tomorrow, before they do the final carry up to the high camp. If they want to do a short hike, maybe they can go visit a nearby sulfur deposit, indicative of Aconcagua’s volcanic history.
