Introducing the Summit Seduction Squad

Hello everyone!! The November 25 expedition group has a name at last! "Summit Seduction Squad" is Rolling and ready to go up!! Yesterday we left Mendoza behind to reach the base of the mountain and start walking. On our way up we enjoyed lunch in Potrerillos village, after lunch the team were in the logistical place of our journey where we left all our duffel bags that will be moved by mules in the next few days until we get base camp. Also team had spent the night at Ayelen hotel in Penitentes Resort, there we enjoyed the comfort before entering the mountain, after a dinner there and then rested before our departure to Confluencia, our first camp!! We are very excited to begin the approach trek on the upcoming days. Keep tuned for next post with our follow up on the trip…
