Aconcagua: Smith & Team’s Duffle Shuffle

Elevation: 9,000'
Evening everyone! Today was a busy day full of the good ole duffle shuffle. We gathered our things and loaded into the Grajales van to make our way to Penitentes. Winter here, Penitentes is a ski resort but for us its the launching pad for Aconcagua. Our main goal today was to separate our gear into two piles: one that rides the mules straight to basecamp and one that rides the mules to each of our camps on the way in. We were rewarded with a delicious dinner after our hard work. Tomorrow is the big day...the day we hit the dusty trail. Before we start our big journey though we have got to rest up. So good night everyone. Talk to you all in the Vacas Valley.

What a magnificent place! Congratulations to the entire team.
I must say, it looks like a lot of work; so I am quite thrilled to experience your excursion via blog and photos from down here.
Much love to you, Tim. We are sending good thoughts to you every day.
