Aconcagua: King & Team Arrive at Trek Camp 2

January 24, 2018

Posted by: Mike King, Jenny Konway, Nick Scott

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 10,550'

After a calm night under the stars the Team woke and began breaking camp. We had approximately nine miles to cover, mostly rolling terrain and the Vacas Valley continues to widen. Today was a little cooler then yesterday but honestly the song remained the same. This camp isn't remarkable except for the old stone building built into a giant erratic boulder, which is the namesake. Everyone is trying to beat the heat, some in their tents and some down by the river. We got to see Aconcagua for the first time and there is a lot of snow up high. Tomorrow we will arrive at Aconcagua Base Camp, there the climb begins in earnest. RMI Guide Mike King

Keep up the good works guys. I enjoy looking at the blog everyday and seeing new progress. No worries Dave I’m keeping everyone posted at the gym. Your like a rockstar everyone keeps asking where your at on the mountain.

Hi daddy!

I hope you’re having the time of your life right now! I miss you so much! My call minutes are going to be very little this month since I’m not calling you ten times a day

Hey there Dave, Tom, and Dawn

I’m sure you are all having the time of your lives. I hope the heat didn’t get the best of you! I miss you Dave and look forward to all the updates. Dave, your mom is connected to the blog too. She misses you too. Stay safe everyone, and take in the view!

Hi Auntie Sandra - keep safe and have fun! And also someone has a very important message: “I want cupcakes!!!”

Take care,
Kiddies
