Aconcagua: Justman & Team Carry to Camp 2

Team Aconcagua is getting down to business! This morning we awoke to windy but clear skies. After we loaded up on coffee and waffles we threw the backpacks on and climbed uphill. The team did a fantastic job reaching Camp 2 at 18,000 feet. We emptied our packs into a duffle bag and zipped it shut. Our second cache of gear is done and the team is now even more acclimatized. We are now back at Camp 1 and we just finished a round of hot soup. The guides are busy melting snow for water. Needless to say, the team is tired. Tonight is pizza night so I need to start making the dough. RMI Guides JJ Justman and Christina von Mertens

Way to get it done! Chris, the whole FP team is behind you - well, below you is I guess a better description. And we are rooting for the success of the whole team. Good news on the clear weather. Make JJ do his special dance for a good summit day!

That mountain photo looks gnarly. I’m so proud of you guys for getting thus far.

Thank you JJ and Christina for being amazing guides, keeping family and friends updated, and being chefs as well.

Ava sends nose kisses to her “Daddy” Apa Tibor. Love you honey. Just a few more days to the top. Keep up the good work!
