Aconcagua Cybercasts: December 2019

Aconcagua – Happy New Years from Team Dirty Malbecs!

Aconcagua – Team Aconquistadors Victorious Return to Basecamp

The team arrived yesterday afternoon to Plaza de Mulas and enjoyed the comforts of basecamp after 6 days on the upper mountain. It took us only 3 hours to descend from Camp Cholera to basecamp.

No weather/extra days were needed for our summit push as the weather was perfect.

We’ll do one more Cybercast tonight from the Hotel Ayulen in Penitentes where we will ring in the new year. A very successful expedition with a fantastic group of individuals. Thanks for following.
