The Others enjoy more gorgeous weather as they move up the mountain to Camp 3

Hey everyone, this is Aconcagua Team 5 reporting in from Camp 3 at the base of the Polish Glacier.

Today we successfully moved from Camp 2 at Amagino Col up here to our Camp 3 (at just over 19,000 feet). Everyone did really well today on the move and we’re looking forward to a rest day tomorrow and then move up to our High Camp the day after that. The weather has been treating us really well and we hope to continue that trend.

That’s all for now, bye.
