Aconcagua: RMI Team Checks in from Basecamp

January 14, 2011

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 13,800'

A bright, sunny, warm day lulled everyone to the cook tent for books, card games, and group crossword puzzles on our rest day. We slowly worked to organize gear that will stay in Basecamp, and that which will move up with us tomorrow to Camp 1. Everyone is excited to leave the unmistakable scent of mules behind and to begin the ascent of the upper mountain. We'll be up early tomorrow to break camp, eat breakfast, and work our way to Camp 1, most likely next to the Norwegian and French teams that we've climbed next to thus far. We'll have more to report tomorrow! Cheers, RMI Guide Gabriel Barral
