Aconcagua begins in earnest with the full team and 3 of our CTSS guides arriving in Mendoza to begin their climb of South America’s highest peak.

Quite a few of the team came in nice and early to get over the jetlag, meet each other, explore the city and taste some of the famous Mendoza reds, plenty more time for that post climb too!

Today is all about gear checks, briefings and logistics before heading to Penitentes tomorrow. They’ll have a patchy wifi connection there and then it’s up and into the mountains. They’ll keep up to date with us on the satellite phone every day or two. Sometimes we go a few days without updating the blog, that’s very normal so don’t be alarmed. No news is good news.

Looking forward to keeping you in the loop

Cheers
