The team on Aconcagua enjoyed a well deserved rest day today at Camp 2 at 18,000ft. On lazy days it’s good to have a big breakfast so hashbrowns, bacon and pancakes were on the menu! After that they only needed a light lunch! Now they are making pizza for dinner!

It was cloudy with some snow throughout the days with light winds. A perfect day to stay in the tents.

With some good rest the team is in good spirits with energy and big appetites (always a good sign at altitude).

Tomorrow they will move to Camp 3 (there’s some wind and snow in the forecast) aiming for a Jan 12th summit day with downtrending winds the whole day starting at only 20kph which is great!

Meanwhile, after a short weather delay, our Vinson team flew from Vinson Base Camp back to Union Glacier this morning for a few short hours and will boarding the 757 to fly back to Chile imminently.

Cheers
CTSS Team
