Aconcagua
|
|
Today we got to sleep in, because we planned to start hiking about 1:00 p.m. We arrived at the trailhead along with the first views of Aconcagua. The mountain is beautiful, with steep snow fields and icicles hanging off of glistening vertical cliffs. The trek to Confluencia took us about 2 hours, and arriving there, it turned out to be a sort of tent city with about 100 tents. After we set up our tents we ate dinner and I was in the bag by 10:00 pm only to be reawakened by fireworks. Once in the mountains I had forgotten that it was new years eve!
