Aconcagua Expedition: Team Carries Gear Above Base Camp

It's easy to forget how wild it is here. Over the past several days we have been surrounded by the hustle and bustle of helicopters, mules, and other climbers rushing in and out of Aconcagua Base Camp. Today brought a lovely change. Carrying our gear higher and higher, we were reminded of how incomprehensible the land we are exploring in is. The surrounding mountains took depth and the air became noticeably thinner. It was calm. No wind, no helicopters, no loud music. Just climbing. Wonderful.
Till next time,

Keep it up dad!! We are rooting for you.
Currently preparing for a nor’easter back at home! Don’t worry Janey and Gazzy are taken care of.
Looking forward to more updates as you all continue to ascend up the mountain!
