Camp 2 on Aconcagua (Luke Reilly)<\/p><\/div>\n

Andy and his team woke up to strong winds this morning and the tents were rattling all night.\u00c2\u00a0 This custom private trip did a heck of a job on the mountain this year and decided to play it conservative and head down to Plaza de Mulas this morning.\u00c2\u00a0 This group had a great journey, stuck together as a team and enjoyed their trip regardless of the wide range of age and experience.\u00c2\u00a0 They’ll be in basecamp shortly enjoying some pizza and maybe a hot shower.<\/p>\n

Down at Camp 2, Jonathan and his team are in a bit of a holding pattern.\u00c2\u00a0 It appears that the winds will begin to tapper in a couple of days and they’ll put together a strategic plan of when to move to Camp 3 and make their summit push from there.\u00c2\u00a0 Their carry and cache today went well to Camp 3 and everything is in position.\u00c2\u00a0 Everyone is healthy and will benefit from the extra days of acclimatization at camp.<\/p>\n
