Aconcagua Team Mulasses at Plaza de Mulas Base Camp!

 

Hola friends, family and loved ones!

The last few days have been delightful with this great team. Right from the get go crossing the Rio Horcones with Aconcagua in the background we have been blessed. Then there was the visit to the famous South Face of Aconcagua (second photo). Yesterday we went exploring and were able to access a challenging glacier approach. Afterwards we pulled food supplies for our mountain lunches.

Today we stocked of first camp and everyone got to see what the high Andes are about! Team members are adapting well and everyone is excited to be starting the climb!

All our best, Carolina and Vern Tejas
