Aconcagua Expedition: Rest Day at Base Camp
Posted by: Billy Nugent | February 05, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 13,800'
Greetings from our rest day here at Plaza Argentina. After a lazy morning lounging in our tents we convened in our weather port for a terrific brunch of bacon, eggs, and of course REAL coffee. Most of us felt a bit ragged from our first night at nearly 14,000’ but after a solid meal everyone seems to have bounced back and they’re all enjoying another beautiful day reading, playing cards, and the like.
Leon and I are spending the afternoon drinking mate and packing up our supplies for tomorrow’s carry up to Camp 1.
Adios,
