17th of December, about Argentina..

And today we open the 17th door, and travel back in time seven year..

For seven years ago we went to Argentina, Mendoza. The goal was to summiting Aconcagua. Four real experienced mountaineerer ready for one of the seven summits.

The whole journey started already in October. The 8th of October 2010 we went up to Enafors, Jamtland for preparation and team-building.

The trail to basecamp II, passes the Horcones valley, some people mean it just a hard passage. But it is a really interesting nature, if you lift your eyes..

The new years eve at 2010 we celebrated with descendants of Inca Indians at Plaza de Mulas.

High level camp at 5100m level…

A very nice adventure, with a lot of experience and conclusions. One of them food. Choose food you really like, then you will eat. And you will need to eat…

Take the opportunity to get the pizza, it will help you to summiting..

And todays question is; who wasw the first of summiting Aconcagua, and what year? At one of the picture above we are at a high camp. Which one? (at 5050m)
