Ac – Nido overnight
Nido
The crew left Base Camp at about 7am this morning and are on their way to Nido where they will spend the night before the climb to Camp Berlin tomorrow. Sean said that they’re going to take it easy to Nido because of what’s ahead. They are already acclimatised to 5200 meters, so today’s trek will be less strenous than their first time to Nido. After Nido, the climb will get ‘seriously tougher and that’s when you fully realise that Mt Aconcagua really is a hard core adventure’.
If all goes according to plan, we won’t hear from the crew until they are back at Base Camp on Friday. Let’s hope that the ‘Viento Blanco’ or ‘white winds’ – Mt Aconcagua’s high speed snow blizzards – don’t make an appearance.
Going up...
Looking down...
Clouds moving in
If the snow comes...

Hey lovee, the serious climb has begun, I really hope the “Viento Blanco” does not come up! I am there in spirit holding your hand every step of the way! Love you Ana XXX
May the force be with you from here on everyone. All of us languishing in the warm weather are thinking of you and cant wait to hear of your successful and deserved summit. Prayers for my Grant
