Aconcagua: King & Team Remain at Camp 2
This morning we woke to the traditional Aconcagua weather pattern, cold temps and consistent winds. We watched snow billow off the upper Polish glacier into the sky forming clouds that resembled smoke rising from a 23,000 ft bonfire.
Everyone is chomping at the bit to move camp and begin our summit attempt, but we will spend one more night at Camp 2 and hope the forecast of 5-20 mph winds holds out.
Quesadillas for lunch and more tent time. If you are reading these blogs with any desire to go expedition climbing get a Kindle and crush tent time like a pro.

Candace- I’m so incredibly proud of you, and it sounds like you are having the adventure of a life time! It also sounds like you have a great group, and are having lots of fun. I can only imagine how awesome your laugh sounds echoing across the Andes. War drums have got nothing on you. :) Hope the chocolate hasn’t run out yet. Good luck on your summit attempt, and as always- be careful. Keep climbing, you little mountain goat! Love you-M
