Aconcagua Expedition: Arrive at Casa de PIedra
Posted by: Jake Beren
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua
A very pleasant day of walking up the Vacas Valley put our team at Casa de Piedra, the last camp before basecamp. The team is doing very well, enjoying the meditative beauty of this walk. We had just enough cloud and wind to keep the heat at bay and still have a stunning first view of the mountain as we rolled into camp. Tomorrow we'll get closer still and say goodbye to our trusty mules and take the loads from then on. But not without a rest day to set ourselves up for success.
Buenas noches,

Katie and Adam, that’s awesome. 16,000 ft. The highest I got was about 14,000, and only on a chairlift. Scenery must be fantastic.
Good luck and have a wonderful holiday.

It is a balmy -10 degrees here in Saskatchewan. Enjoy the sunshine Trev. The boys ask about you everyday. Jett wants you to video tape 10 hockey pep talks before your next climb. I tried my best. Go Team Aconcagua! Take care of my baby!

Kim, I climbed with your medal today and did some sick water ice 4 routes. Josh loved his IB base layer. Thanks again. Miss you and how you keep climbing strong.
