Team undecided kicks off expedition!

Hello friends and family!Thank you so much for following along with us on our Aconcagua expedition! Today was the first official day of the trip. We all met for the first time and did a big introduction meeting followed by an intensive gear check, making sure everyone has every item they need to succeed. After an overview of the route and logistics we took a break before meeting back up for dinner at one of Mendoza’s fabulous restaurants! It was a multi-hour event and we all got to know each other a bit more. Excitement is high and everyone is ready to head out of the city and towards the mountain tomorrow. I will be posting updates daily, so check back to follow along! So far we are undecided on a team name but soon one will be chosen and I will use that for the rest of the trip when doing these updates.
Until tomorrow!
