Aconcagua from flight Mendoza to Santiago on 13-Feb-2010
Melting snow for drinking water and cooking food - on some days the most time-consuming activity (even more than climbing)!
Sunset at Nido de Condores (Camp 2), 5400m.
Sunset at Camp Colera (Camp 3) at 6,000 m. Aconcagua casts his shadow to the East towards Argentina.
At a bus stop I looked in the mirror for the first time in 2 weeks - shocking reflections in the mirror!
SPOT track of ascent from base camp via 3 high camps to summit of Aconcagua
SPOT track of descent from summit of Aconcagua via Camp 3 and base camp to the park entrance and Puente Del Inca
Wild animal with highly developed optics seen high on Aconcagua - maybe a relative of the Yeti ? (Pablo Betancourt, great guy and climbing photographer; I've never seen a climber hauling more (or better) photo equipment (and still climbing faster than me); doing a photo book on Aconcagua; check out his website at http://www.garciabetancourt.com/ )
