As we went up the steep climb into the valley we were greeted by some typical Patagonia weather and a view of the Escudo and a partial view of the Fortaleza.<\/p>\n<p>The group is having a blast and looking forward to another great day tomorrow!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 2, 2017 Argentina &#8211; Luke, Kevin, Martin and team are on the move.\u00c2\u00a0 Casa Piedra today for their second day on the trail.\u00c2\u00a0 This is just enjoyable walking with light packs.\u00c2\u00a0 Great for the acclimatization, the legs and the lungs.\u00c2\u00a0 And fun just getting back into the swing of being on an expedition.\u00c2\u00a0 All\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":16704,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,30,36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aconcagua","category-mexican-volcanoes","category-patagonia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16702"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16711,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16702\/revisions\/16711"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
