Aconcagua Expedition: Smith & Team Establish Camp 1

January 28, 2019

Posted by: Hannah Smith, Avery Parrinello

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 16,000'

We woke today and said goodbye to the other RMI team as they headed down valley to go enjoy a delicious carne asado dinner. A carne asado dinner and a bed sound nice, but we have a lot of mountain ahead of us, so those are going to have to wait. The team made it further up the mountain today as we established our new home at Camp 1. It was a warm day today which made for great lounging in the sun as we kicked back and relaxed from a job well done. As dinner finished and hot drinks were sipped the sun slipped behind the ridge and a chill filled the air. Everyone casually disappeared into their sleeping bags for warmth...and so begins spending 12 hours in our tents. Have a great day, RMI Guide Hannah Smith and team
