Aconcagua Expedition: Team Practices Skills and Waits
Day 13
The team awoke to warm bagels and crackling bacon. That was the warmest part of the day. It was a frigid one. We practiced cramponing while dashing in and out of our sleeping bags. Now is the trickiest part of any expedition. We sit, checking the weather repeatedly, waiting for our weather window to climb. Despite so much time in the tent, we are ready when the time comes.
Till next time,

Nothing like bacon and bagels to keep up that motivation! Praying for clear skies and sunshine soon. Stay strong (and warm!) - you’ve got this, guys! And please give a big team hug to Richie for me. I’m with you, love!
