Aconcagua: Tucker & Team Depart Mendoza, Head for the Mountains

January 13, 2018

Posted by: Mark Tucker, Hannah Smith, Avery Parrinello

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 9,000'

Great news! The team has now received all of our bags and we are ready to hit the trail... tomorrow! We checked in with the Aconcagua National Park Service to secure our climbing permits before leaving Mendoza. After gathering one more delayed bag, we made the three hour drive to Los Penitentes. We had plenty of time to re-arrange our gear and get it ready for the mule loads. Now after a great dinner, we are ready for our comfortable hotel and really looking forward to that pillow. Jet lag sucks. The team is doing great and we are having a good time. RMI Guide Mark Tucker
