Aconcagua: JJ & Team in Los Penitentes
Posted by: J.J. Justman, Geoff Schellens, Garrett Stevens | January 05, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 9,000'
We have arrived in the quaint little ski town of Penitentes. It was nice enjoying the “good life” in Mendoza. However, it’s a refreshing change getting into the high desert mountains near Aconcagua.
The team organized our gear to be carried in by the mules. Then it was quickly off to dinner at Hotel Ayelen. I’d like to joke that it was the team’s last good meal. However, we have several kilos of filet mignon and fresh chickens to grill and I’m planning on making my 2001 award winning homemade pesto served over hand made angel hair pasta. Sorry, we won’t send photos of that, don’t want to make you too jealous.
