After long hours on planes, airports and taxis, the 13 climbers and 4 guides of our first Aconcagua expedition of the season got together in Mendoza. We are honored to have them in our city (almost a million habitants, tree.lined streets, sidewalks coffees and vineyards in the country -of course you can also see mountain in the horizon-).
We greeted them with big Argentinan steaks and the comfort of the best hotel in town. The guides are very optimistic and said it is a pretty good group so far (well prepared and with team spirits).
Wesley and Calvin are the Lead Guides (both well seasoned Tetons guides both), and María José (Mendoza) and Mariano (Argentinean Patagonia) are the coguides. Both firts class climbers and bright guides. The group will get the Aconcagua permits tomorrow and head towards the Andes, a 3 hour interesting drive.
