Aconcagua: Hailes & Team Back to a Windy Camp 1
Hello again!
We are contacting you from a very windy Camp 1 today after we moved supplies up hill to 18,000ft. The team did well with the weight and altitude as we got our first grand views of the Andes range. We could see many glaciated peaks to the north and the intimidating Polish Glacier on Aconcagua proper. Soon after our descent back to camp another cloud cap formed on the upper mountain which made for a chilly evening. But now we are bundled up in the tents for a solid 13 hours rest before breakfast. Hope these winds calm down so we can sleep for some of that time!
Oye!

Bravo to the team!
PS
New years eve is kind of similar here in the northern suburbs of Athens covered with 10cm of snow, very high winds, zero (celcius) temps and no electricity for 10 hours now ...
No complaints though thinking what you guys are having!
