Aconcagua: Hailes & Team Move Up to Camp 1
Well after nearly four days spent at the luxurious Aconcagua Basecamp, it came time to move up high onto the mountain to about 16,200'. The team traveled efficiently and we made it to camp by 1 pm, even if the scree at the end had us "one step up, half a step back."
The weather is sunny and breezy with a cloud cap high on the mountain, maybe around 22,000'. We will spend the rest of the day relaxing so we can be prepared to carry gear to Camp 2 tomorrow, providing the weather continues in our favor.
Thanks for following,

We are glad to hear that the weather is holding and you are able to progress forward even if it’s a ” step forward and a half step back!” Enjoy the trek to camp 2.
