Aconcagua: Carry to Camp 1
Posted by: Jake Beren | December 19, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 13,780'
Today was a good day for our team carrying up to Camp 1. The team climbed strong with legit loads to make our future move a little easier. We enjoyed near perfect weather again on the way up to camp, ascending the moraine up to a snow patch of penitentes before gaining camp. As we made our cache weather rolled in from the west and we got our first taste of how quickly things can change up here. Our descent was beautiful in the sideways snow squall that cleared as we returned to basecamp.
Tomorrow will be a recovery day here at basecamp before we move onto the upper mountain. Now it’s off to bed, buenas noches.
