Summit Seduction Squad from Aconcagua

Summit Seduction Squad reporting!! We have had intense days since our arrival at the Plaza de Mulas base camp here in Aconcagua. The entire team is well and healthy; weather has been challenging these days as the wind and cold have tested fitness and determination. On Dec 2th we climbed Cerro Bonete, in very rough conditions, the entire team got to the summit and reached 5000 masl. Today, December 3rd, we climbed to camp 1 (Canada) at 4950 masl; We cache there some supplies and gear for the next few days when our summit push starts. Last dinner we enjoyed an incredible dish prepared especially by the base camp team: "Asado Argentino" Tomorrow we have our second rest day in Plaza de Mulas. We are going to rest, eat well and have a great time before we keep going up. We send a very big greeting to everyone….
