Aconcagua: Beren and Team Rest day at Camp 2
Posted by: Jake Beren, Mike King, Steve Gately
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua
Elevation: 16,000'
Siesta time! This morning we slept in a little and worked a bit on our tents. It has become a little windy here and actually presents a good training for time up high. We must be able to push through a little wind in these exposed camps if we want a shot at the top.
Earlier today the team went for an acclimatization hike and I must say put forth a solid performance. Climbing up loose scree with great technique really inspires confidence for our move tomorrow. Now if the weather will cooperate, we will be one step closer to the top!
Speaking of the top, it was a real treat to see JJ and Leah's team descending after a safe trip. Congrats!

Hola Team Jake,
New Year’s Eve in Mendoza was fun. Great food and wine at Ciebo. Make Wikipedia lists the tomato as a fruit. Ryan I could only find 200 uses for cucumbers, husk kidding. I head to home today. Miss all of you and respect what you are doing. Last words for now, for “sure does.” Fletch

Happy New Year Everyone! No champagne tonight for you I expect. I read that JJ’s team summited so lots for you folks to anticipate in the first days of 2014. Bill, everybody we know asks how you are doing and wishes you the best possible climb. Love you! ...Norm.
PS. Looks like Phunk Junk Records will release another one of my songs!
