Wes and the team got to base camp yesterday and are having a rest day today. They completed the 3-day hike in as scheduled -big asado (barbecue) and awesome views included-. Everyone is fine. They will start carrying gear to higher camps tomorrow. Plaza Argentina is at 13,800 ft. it has big dining tents, a fine cook and it's almost a small tent's village. I attach pictures of the place. I will be updating dispatches as Wes calls me from his sat phone. Regards!
