Aconcagua: King & Team Carry to Camp 2 at 18,000ft
Posted by: Mike King, Dominic Cifelli, Jack Delaney
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua
Elevation: 16,200'
Today we carried food, fuel & a few personal items to Camp 2 at 18,000'. Pardon the typo of elevation yesterday (we had it 17,000'). We had a clear morning to begin the day. Heavy snow began to fall with a light breeze while we were putting together our cache. The team got back to camp and is waiting for a break in the snow. This weather pattern is forecasted until the 9th when strong winds are expected for the 10th & 11th. We rest tomorrow and hope the storm abates.

I bet goggles are adjusted the moment you open that tent flat. Remember Enos Mills’ story “Snow Blind”.

Keep up the good work and try and get some rest. Hopefully the weather will be on your side.

Oh my, You lead exciting lives! Snow isn’t so bad but the high winds will add something to your adventure, for sure!
Traveled an hour north today. People here have forgotten how to drive in fresh snow it’s been a couple of weeks since snowfall, there were two car wrecks along the way, nobody hurt.
Ginger & Caleb’s baby is 24 weeks along tomorrow and Uncle Scottie’s hip operation went well.
Going to snowshoe above the lake this weekend.
Have a grand time, we’re really enjoying your trip updates, many thanks! XOXOXO Momma & Dad
