CTSS guide, Andrew Griffouliere, checks in from Aconcagua base camp today with a montage of the Andean summer the team have trekked through on the walk into base camp this week.

Rivers clear and muddy. Pockets of shaded groves in an otherwise arid valley. And dinners fireside served up by our hard-working team of arrieros, our tough as nails mule drivers.

Some packing, reorganizing, and a well-deserved rest today before the next phase begins. Our load carries up the mountain.

Meanwhile, today our rapid ascent team also arrives to base camp and our private team of Badr, Curtis, and Nico are tucked in at high camp with an eye towards a summit push tomorrow.

A eventful CTSS weekend here all over Mt. Aconcagua.

 

Cheers from all of us,

Team CTSS
