\n\t\t\t\tThumbs up in Mendoza (Rikki Dunn)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nThe next Aconcagua team hit the road this morning to Penitentes.\u00c2\u00a0 Rikki Dunn and Martin Lucero are at the helm.\u00c2\u00a0 With a small team of five, this is certainly going to be a special experience.\u00c2\u00a0 This is Rikki’s second trip on Aconcagua this season, I guess he just can’t get enough.<\/p>\n
Now that all the food packing and gear prep has been completed it’s time to start making their way to basecamp.\u00c2\u00a0 The van ride to Penitentes is a pretty one; once the team arrives they will finalize mule loads and wrap up today with a big plate of food and maybe a glass of wine.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow morning everybody will switch out their flip flops and sandals for a pair of hiking boots and hit the trail.\u00c2\u00a0 First stop along the way to basecamp is Pampa de Le\u00c3\u00b1as.<\/p>\n
