Aconcagua: King & Team Resting at Plaza Argentina

February 1, 2015

Posted by: Steve Gately, Mike King

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 13,800'

An enjoyable aspect of any rest day is "sport eating", because you know that you will burn through the calories and you get to sort through all the extra food you brought on the expedition. Today we started with Steve's North American scrambled eggs. The team went for a walk to aid in acclimatization and returned to guide made cheese pizzas. Everyone is relaxing and getting gear ready for the carry to Camp 1 tomorrow. Those minor headaches we had upon arrival yesterday have gone and appetites are strong! The team is excited to see what lies ahead. It's always sunny in Plaza Argentina. RMI Guide Mike King
