Aconcagua: Nugent & Team Rest Day at Plaza Argentina
Posted by: Billy Nugent, Katrina Bloemsma, Billy Haas
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua
Elevation: 13,800'
Resting today... We are all enjoying a pleasant afternoon up here at Plaza Argentina. Our two principal goals for today are letting our bodies rest up from the work we've done over the past three days and continue that acclimatization process, and to prep and pack our gear, food, and fuel for tomorrow's planned carry up to Camp 1. The team is again in good spirits and enjoying the day. We'll check in again tomorrow and let you know how our first true push up the mountain went...

13,800’ already! That is my max limit - Corell, remember Dead Woman’s/Dead Thurston’s Pass in Peru - it was 13,800. We are not much above sea level right now on the Bayou Meto in Lodges Corner, Arkansas. Please post some pictures. Love you!!!!
