Aconcagua: Justman & Team Hunker Down in Wind and Snow at Camp 1
Well, when life gives you 50 mph wind gusts and incidental snow storms, you hole up in your tent, drink tea, and eat ramen. In other words, the team is getting a taste of expedition living at its finest up here at Aconcagua Camp 1. The good news is, all team members are doing well, battling the elements through stoic tent maintenance, self care, and once in a while poking their heads outside to catch a glimpse of the spindrift whipping down the neighboring slopes. Send us all the positive weather vibes you can!
Blessings on blessings from the boys on the hill,
RMI Guides Pepper Dee and JJ Justman

Brad and Brian,
I’m happy to hear you guys have all made it to Camp 1 in great shape - great job!
Rest up and save energy while the wind is bad then push it to the summit. You guys can make it happen! Have fun! Be safe! And throw a snowball off the summit for me!

We send all our love from the big apple. We did 16,818 steps (not feet! Haha!) today touring around the big city. Thinking of you and hoping the weather becomes more agreeable soon. Warm hugs and kisses…
