Aconcagua: Nugent & Team Carry to Camp 2

January 23, 2017

Posted by: Billy Nugent, Hannah Smith

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 16,200'

We are back safely in Camp 1 after a beautiful carry up to Camp 2 at over 18,000ft. This camp in addition to being our "Camp 2" is also called Guanacos Campo 3, or Chopper Camp because there used to be the pieces of a crashed helicopter sprinkled about. Those are all cleaned up these days and virtually no trace of a crashed helicopter is left. We enjoyed sunny skies and calm winds all day today while making great time. We were three-ish hours up and just over an hour down with a nice break up at our cache site in between. The team is back down soaking up some sun and relaxing the afternoon away. We have a rest/acclimatization day on deck that will hopefully set us up well for our climb higher. All for now... RMI Guide Billy Nugent
