Rob says things are going good. The team met with doctors to get their bio-stats and everyone passed with flying colors. Tomorrow they travel up to 16.2′ to set up their cache for camp 1. He says everyone’s getting along. Its windy, clear, and chilly (not chile, har!). Dad-humor intact!
So here’s something kind of amazing… the website Aconcagua Now has a live webcam at Plaza Argentina (Base Camp) so you can see the whole day in three minute increments if you go to their “history pictures” section. So here’s 221 images from today’s live feed at base camp (click the image)! And if you spot Rob, leave a comment with the timecode that’s posted in the top right of the photo.
Day 7: Rest and acclimatization at Base Camp. We relax and adjust to the new altitudes while we focus on packing and organizing our gear for the mountain.* Sunday, December 9th, 2012
