Rob checked in this evening… he says the sun is out and the sky is clear, it’s just very windy. Oh, and he reports that they are eating well!
Day 5: We continue towards Base Camp as the Vacas Valley opens up and the surrounding mountains grow taller. We are greeted by impressive views of the Eastern Face of Aconcagua as we reach our second night’s camp at Casa de Piedra (10,550′).* Friday, December 7th, 2012
here’s a youtube video of mules racing towards casa de piedra where the team is camping tonight…
here’s a nice view of the summit in the distance in another sweet random youtube video…

Great to hear your voice and know you and the team are doing good. Is there a Jason’s Deli along the way??!!
Given all the up and down from camp to camp you do, I’d have to learn to pack really lite!
Hugs and prayers for a safe climb and return.
