Aconcagua: Luedtke & Team Take Active Rest Day at Base Camp
Rest: A period of time when you relax, sleep, or do nothing after being active.
Although this sounds nice, it's not all sunshine and rainbows doing nothing at almost 14,000 feet. Fortunately for us, we did get to sleep in this morning, but we also got to go on a short climb along the first leg of our route to Camp 1. Active rest days are important. We take the time we need to rest our bodies and our minds, but it helps a lot to also keep those muscles busy with small activities. Mindfully, we also packed our large backpacks for our first big carry day tomorrow. It may be heavy, but we're feeling ready. We are excited to start our second half of the trip: the climb.
Per request, a huge congratulations to Daniel and Sydney on the new baby!
