Aconcagua: Tucker & Team Carry Gear to High Camp

January 19, 2017

Posted by: Mark Tucker, Pepper Dee

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 19,600'

Turned out to be a great day to carry group and personal equipment to our high camp of Aconcagua at 19,600ft. We made good time up and down and round tripped it in about five hours. At one point I was down to just a thin poly-pro top. Not bad for being exposed to the elements at 19,000ft. Big decision time tonight. Weather reports are calling for some unsettled pattern ahead. Need to put all the factors in the hopper and come up with a plan. Excitement is rising and a major buzz going on around camp. My team continues to be a solid unit and so proud of what we have accomplished so far. All is well up on the hill. RMI Guide Mark Tucker
