All is well on Aconcagua.

Up high at Camp 2 we have our private team. They are doing great although, expectedly, a little tired. Today is a full rest day, after a big carry up to Camp 3 yesterday which now puts them in position for a summit bid. They had a big thunderstorm typical of Aconcagua with a dusting of new snow but sun is in forecast for the next few days. Tomorrow they will move to Camp 3.

Our private expedition of Viranju and Guide Nani moves to Camp 1 today. He reports that everything is going perfectly, and acclimatization is excellent.

On the lower slopes we have our main team who are currently enjoying the trek to Base Camp. After a great stay at Puente del Vacas, the set off on their mule assisted approach. Yesterday was an 8 mile hike up to Pampa De Lenas Camp at 2,868m/ 9,404 feet. Today, they have a nine and a half mile (approx 6hours) trek, crossing the river to hike up to Casa de Piedra camp and tomorrow they will hit Plaza Argentina Base Camp.

Our other private team of Jesse and Guide Tomi moved from Puente del Vacas to Casa de Piedra yesterday. We expect them to head to base camp today before starting an accelerated speed ascent up the mountain early next week.

Cheers
CTSS Team
