The 7 Summits Club "Malbecs" group completed their acclimatization rotation and arrived back at base camp before the real bad weather set in

Greetings from the "Malbecs" group on the slopes of Aconcagua! Today, after an acclimatization night at 5,500 meters, we descended to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp (4,300 meters). We need to recuperate before the final climb. We were lucky to descend in time, as the weather suddenly deteriorated after lunch, with snow sleet falling from the sky. This is a sure sign of a thunderstorm. Thunder and lightning were quick to arrive, and for 5-6 hours we watched the storm in the mountains. Tomorrow is a well-deserved rest day. Group guides: Georgy Bushuev and Dmitry Semenov.
