An high mountains body of water occupies the lower half of the image. In the background stands a three peaked mountain exposing reddish and whitish interesting geological bands. Sky is cloudless and deep blue.

So many reflections after reading this beautifully told story of an expedition to #aconcagua that went wrong and the survival and finding of a 50 year old camera loaded with film in a #glacier, but really you should just read it. Gift link shared (🙏) by @Lisa_Strong

Ok, not all days are hard on big mountains. Sometimes you get a mule ride crossing a stream so you don't have to get wet and cold early in the morning. 🐴 No one fell off, so it was a success. 😅

#Aconcagua #SevenSummits #mountaineering

Me on a mule, crossing a wide but shallow stream to get into the start of the valley that leads up to Plaza Argentina Basecamp. Morning sun is hitting the sides of the valley slopes, the stream is still in the shade.

Once the weather cleared, three days late of our original schedule, we moved up to C3 for a day/night. Life in the mountains is hard, but the views when weather is good are enough to keep you coming back for more… #Aconcagua #SevenSummits #mountaineering

Team resting an hour or so below C3 on Aconcagua. Snow covered mountain stretching out before us, with clear blue skies above.

Preocupación por afectación del turismo en el Valle del Aconcagua 💧

Am 14. Januar 1897, heute vor 126 Jahren, bestieg Matthias Zurbriggen als erster Mensch den Aconcagua.

Mit 6961 m ist der Aconcagua in den argentinischen Anden der höchste Berg außerhalb Asiens und war der bis dahin höchste bestiegene Berg. Der Schweizer Bergführer Zurbriggen aus Saas-Fee war Expeditionsleiter einer Expedition des Briten Edward FitzGerald.

Finally got my bags yesterday! They look like they’ve been through some stuff… I’m now on a different team up the mountain, but at least I do get to climb it!
Guide company has been amazing as usual, trying to find solutions and adapting every day to try to make it happen with the first team. This is customer obsession and above and beyond for sure - can’t recommend them enough! International Mountain Guides. Best ever! #mountaineering #Aconcagua #AdventureTime

Ohboyohboyohboyohboy... Last day at home before I head out! 😱 In two days I'll be in #Argentina, in five days I'll be walking with my pack on. Pre-flight jitters as usual, but I can't wait to get up close and personal with #Aconcagua! Been packed and ready to go for days! Now let's hope this winter storm thingy isn't messing with my flights... 🤞 #mountaineering #sevensummits

Two yellow North Face duffel bags filled to the brim with expedition gear.

It’s getting more real by the day now… Just over a week until I fly out. Final gear check done, will pack everything into duffles tomorrow - no more second guessing what comes along and what stays behind! 😅 (tomorrow is the day to get all the snacks I know I’m unlikely to find in Argentina) #mountaineering #Aconcagua #SevenSummits
