Greetings everyone this is Dave Gruss with Alpine Ascents Team III on Aconcagua. We are currently at Pampa de Lena, and we just had an incredible asado steak dinner cooked for us by our local arrieros, the gentlemen who are taking all of our gear up to base camp. We are actually all just tucking into bed, looking forward to an early morning tomorrow and a longer day, looks like we are going to have about a 7 or 8 hour hike up to Casa de Peidra. Everyone’s doing great so far and in great spirits and we are all looking forward to spending Christmas at base camp. Hope all is well with everyone out there, and we will talk to you all soon. Ciao for now.
