The Aconcagua Team raising a glass
Mike, Betsy, Leo and team have wrapped up all the “pre-climb details” in Mendoza and sent us this great photo. Permits in hand, and with everyone’s luggage, they’re heading for Penitentes at the base of the mountain. Mule loads get sorted in Penitentes and the team takes advantage of one last hotel night (showers, beds and restaurant meals). On the 23rd of December,  they begin their approach.
It’s show time!
