Aconcagua: King & Team Carry Gear to Camp 1
Today was our first day climbing this huge mountain, up till now it's been a luxurious trek. We carried up a cache of food, fuel and a few personal items to our Camp One at 16,400'. The terrain is scree for as far as the eyes can see along an ancient glacial moraine, monotonous at times but beautiful in it's own right. The Team had been picking the brains of groups in camp about what to expect and once we were back all agreed that it was a tough day, then again the first day with heavy packs above 14,000' is always tough. We are all back in camp and will enjoy a good dinner followed by a rest day tomorrow. We'll keep our fingers crossed for clear skies and decreasing winds.

Hi Darlin, I know that you’re journey is getting harder but I’m a hundred percent sure you’re loving every minute of it. The horses, the dogs and Rose are doing fine. We’re in a beautiful spell of weather at the moment, 65 and no wind. Im heading out to ride Ol’ Buster. We love watching your progress.
Thinking of you, much love,
Annie
