Aconcagua: Luedtke & Team Arrive at Plaza Argentina, Base Camp
Today, we had an early start, however we weren’t sleepy on the trail for very long.
We crossed the river on foot five minutes away from our last trekking camp. The frigid waters came up to our knees as we crossed. Yikes! All this before sunrise. We quickly dried our feet and legs, and put on warmer foot wear to make our way up to Aconcagua. Six hours of hiking later, climbing 3,300 feet over seven miles, we walked into base camp.
We’re finally here! A few days to acclimate, and we should head up to Camp 1.
