Preparations are well under way for the last CTSS Aconcagua team of 2021/2022 in Argentina!

All team members made it into town without major troubles and have spent today getting their park required Antigen tests, completing gear checks and finalizing packing.

Guides Sasha Sak and Nanika Stahringer have food and gear prepped, packed, and ready to be loaded into the transport early tomorrow morning. As always they made their rounds through Mendoza over the last few days shopping for fantastic meals including as many fresh fruits and vegetables as we can carry into basecamp.

Tonight the team wrapped up a big day with a fantastic team dinner.

Tomorrow they’ll leave Mendoza and drive to Las Cuevas for one last night under a solid roof before starting the trek into Basecamp through the Horcones Valley.

We wish them the best of luck as they start an amazing climb!
