Aconcagua Expedition 14th December 2024

Leader: Carrie Gibson

19th December 2024 - Arrival at Base Camp

This afternoon the team arrived at base camp, home for the next couple of days. Sadly when they got to base camp a few of the team found out that one of the horses had fallen over in the river crossing, the horse was fine, but some of their kit bags, that were sent ahead, had got wet. Carrie's kit was the worst affected, but she's now drying out all of her high altitude equipment.
