Aconcagua Expedition: Resting at Basecamp
Posted by: Jake Beren | December 20, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 13,800'
Hello from Aconcagua Basecamp,
Today we are resting and recuperating at Plaza Argentina preparing to move to Camp 1 tomorrow. The winds look a touch rowdy up high, so staying here is a great call. This morning we had a leisurely breakfast and excellent conversation before a short stroll to stretch the legs. Hopefully the winds will cooperate and tomorrow we will be checking in from Camp 1!
