Aconcagua: Gorum & Team Take a Rest Day At Camp Two

Elevation: 18,000'
The team is all doing exceptionally well here at our new home at 18,000' on Aconcagua. The weather has been a bit unsettled, with scattered snow flurries and winds battering our tents throughout the day. This less than stellar weather has been a great excuse to hang out and rest to the best of our abilities, which is perfect because this will be our last rest day of the trip. Our plan is to make our summit attempt and hit a weather window in just a few days.
We have done our time up high, and everyone is excited for the opportunity to show their stuff. For now, we're eating mac and cheese in the tents, and finishing off this relaxing day in style. Once we leave here, we will be on the go until we get back to Mendoza, so we're savoring the bit of down time that we have left. We'll check in from Camp 3 tomorrow.

Living vicariously thru you guys! Have fun and stay safe. I have a friend who departs for Aconcagua on the 29th of Jan. Any conditions or changes to the “norm” would be great! Cheers Patrick.
