Aconcagua update

I've received the first of what hopes to be many updates from Adventuras Patagonicas, the guiding company Adrian is using in his attempt of Aconcagua's summit.


The team is being led by Christian Santelices (in the bright red shirt) and Pablo Borjas (front row, far left). Other climbers are all from the United States and have backgrounds in mountaineering, ski mountaineering and trekking. One guy even has experience dog sledding.
The team left Mendoza on Sunday and spent the night at a small ski-area village called Pennitentes. Monday morning they began their three-day trek to Base Camp Plaza Argentina.
