Rob setting up a tent on Aconcagua.
The Robert/Leo Aconcagua team hunkered down at Camp I today and took a rest day and were able to regroup after the heavy winds yesterday and the day before. Winds are still being a little stingy but things are supposed to calm down starting tomorrow midday. They will take advantage of the hopeful break in the wind and make a carry up to Camp II in the morning. Could be a little bit blustery but it’s always good to keep moving up the mountain if conditions allow. Getting into position for a summit push is always a bit of a chess match, and I think this team is doing a great job. Let’s hope they can put Aconcagua in check mate.
