Aconcagua

Because of all the recent storms we sadly have to deviate from our intended route. Ours, “Flight of the Condor”, is now flooded with new snow. So today we walked the normal route to Camp 2, or Condoras. Here at 17,700 feet, I can feel the altitude. When we arrived I “hit the wall” as Willie called it. We finished setting up the tent just as a raging storm pulled in. We sat inside drinking away our headaches, dizziness, and nausea (with tea). Feeling chipper and refreshed, I was ready for dinner, but Willie and Charlotte were fast asleep, their appetite taken by altitude. I knew that I needed food, so I scrounged up some cookies and melted snow for hot OJ. Pretty exciting.
