Return from Aconcagua




Just returned to Houston. What a great trip! Aconcagua was amazing. Mendoza was amazing.
The climb went well for the most part. But unfortunately our team had some bad luck. out of 11 only 3 were able to summit. Myself and two from Spain. 3 suffered from HAPE and 5 turned around summit day. Which was interesting and surprising as everyone was strong. It happened fast and was devastating to the team moral.
There were points (Independencia) at which I was also debating a turn around, but I think previous experience on Cotopaxi was helpful to continue.
Overall, another great time
