Mountain shadow
Josh McDowell just checked in from Camp 1 on Aconcagua. No carry today up higher. They awakened to pretty good winds and fresh snow. To quote Josh – ‘looked like it was rippin’ up higher’. Logical choice was to take a rest day. That never hurts with the acclimatization, regardless. They’ll carry tomorrow if conditions allow. Regardless, everyone is doing well and ready to keep pushing when conditions permit.
