Elevation: 16,200'
All the way to Camp 2!
Our team did a fantastic job carrying some group gear and personal gear up to 18,000 feet. The winds were still present as they kicked snow off into the air of surrounding peaks and ridges. However, they were not as strong as yesterday.
As the team rounded the corner and entered the col, they were treated to their first view of the high Andes range of Argentina. Breathtaking doesn't describe it. We are now back at Camp 1 resting and recovering after a great day in the mountains.
P.S. - Happy Birthday Josh!!! From Denise. I'm wearing my new socks!! :)

Keep up the good work everyone. Sounds like you guys are having a blast, getting blown off your feet by high winds while carrying a heavy pack is going to make such a great adventure in past tense. Newman-Os are the best-Os. Glad you are enjoying the socks Tenacious, have fun and think light thoughts. :)
