Aconcagua Expedition: Carry to Camp 1

Posted by: Pete Van Deventer | January 12, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 14,000'

Hello everyone! We are back at basecamp after a very successful carry to, and cache at Camp 1! The group did very well today, and now all of our upper mountain gear and food is staged for us. The next step: REST. Today was the first day of the trip with heavy packs, and for many of the group a new personal altitude record. Tomorrow we will spend the day at base, eating food, napping, and recovering tired muscles. If all goes according to plan, we will move our camp to 16,000 feet the day after tomorrow, and continue the process of acclimating and moving our gear up the mountain. Everyone is excited to have completed our first big day, and sends their best!

All for now.

Cheers,
RMI Guides Pete Van Deventer, Gilbert Chase, Gabriel Barral, and team
