The CTSS team on Aconcagua is ready to start climbing! The last few days have been filled with preparation and acclimatization. With a day of rest in basecamp finished, tomorrow the team loads the first heavy packs and makes the trek out of basecamp to camp 1.

They’ll drop 8 days worth of group food and all their extra personal gear in a Cache at Camp 1 before dropping back to basecamp for the night.

Tomorrow, tents, sleeping gear, and any remaining gear they’ll need for the climb will be carried up to camp 1, where the team will spend the next 2 nights.
