Aconcagua update

I recently received an e-mail update from one of the Aventuras Patagonicas organizers about the status of Adrian and his team.

According to the e-mail, ''Lead Guide Christian Santelices phoned to let us know that the team had safely moved to Camp 2'' on Tuesday. Camp 2 is at 5,400 meters or 17,820 feet. This photo is fromthe previous expedition in January, but it shows what it looks like near Camp 2.


The weather there has been sunny, warm and calm. Later, the team plans to carry a load to Piedras Blancas at 5,950 meters or 19,635 feet. The team will then rest back at Camp 2 and then move permanently up to Piedras Blancas, the mountain's highest camp before the summit.

Based on my estimates that would have Adrian permanently established at the high camp (Piedras Blancas) on Friday.
