and Martin Lucero will be working with our first team of the season.\u00c2\u00a0 No issues with everyone getting to Mendoza but one piece of luggage just didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to show up.\u00c2\u00a0 Jonathan and Martin lined up rental gear, just in case.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, just in case was a necessity.\u00c2\u00a0 Never fun to lose a bag but nice that options are available in Mendoza, given enough time and enough knowledge.\u00c2\u00a0 With final shopping complete, gear checks done and permits in hand, the crew headed out from Mendoza to Penitentes Tuesday morning.\u00c2\u00a0 IMG has worked with the Grajales family for all our expedition support on Aconcagua since 1981.\u00c2\u00a0 They continue to be a\u00c2\u00a0 great addition to our programs.<\/p>\n<p>More gear packing\/sorting and making up \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mule loads\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and it was time for one last hotel night and a bed.\u00c2\u00a0 Wednesday morning is the start of the 3 day approach to base camp.\u00c2\u00a0 Mules carry the bulk of the equipment to that point.\u00c2\u00a0 Great way to acclimate and just into the swing of expedition life.\u00c2\u00a0 Crew is healthy and chomping at the bit and weather is very good.<\/p>\n<p>We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll keep you posted.\u00c2\u00a0 FYI \u00e2\u20ac\u201c trip #2 for the season begins in a
