Aconcagua: Justman & Team Carry to Camp 1
Posted by: Mike King, JJ Justman, Steve Gately
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua
Elevation: 13,800'
Today we carried to 16,600 on Aconcagua. We enjoyed a cool morning with snow and a light breeze. The entire team cruised through our breaks to arrive at Camp 1 with a small piece of blue sky. The scree which is typically dry and loose was covered in snow, making the climbing more enjoyable. The team returned to Base Camp just in time for weather to roll in and snack before siesta. Rest day tomorrow!

Bissell, for some reason, my messages do not seem to be getting through. The kids and I miss you terribly, as does Atticus of course. The pictures are wonderful and I try to imagine what it must be like to be surrounded by such beauty. So proud of you. Love you.

Great job Randy and the rest of the team on a tough part of the journey! Rest up tomorrow and get ready for the big push in the days ahead.
In honor of Martin Luther King Day, one of his great quotes:
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
