News from the Bezbabos group from sunny Argentina! Today we passed the PCR tests, no one "got pregnant" and we are ready to enter the Aconcagua National Park!!! We checked the equipment and went shopping to buy the missing little things, of which there are always a lot. It turned out that practically nothing works here on Sunday, and therefore the search for small things has become a much more interesting quest! Even the payment of permits became more difficult due to the fact that it was possible to pay only in one place - somewhere in the other end of the city.  The guides of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov and Dmitry Semenov were with you!

Sergey Avtomonov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Argentina:  Finally, the Nosotros group descended from the summit of Aconcagua to the base camp! Our ascent was successful!!! With not a big incident under the summit, but all the participants are healthy and already resting at the base camp. Tomorrow everyone is planning to go down to the hotel by helicopter! The ascent was very difficult, we climbed quite slowly. But everyone fought to the end and managed to climb to the top. Hooray-a-a -all well done!  Congratulations to all participants and co-participants in the ascent!! Guides Nikita Slotin, Sergey Avtomonov and Dmitry Semenov!

Greetings from the Aconcagua Base Camp! The Nosotros group rested today before going to the upper camps. The night wind blew away two more tents.   We replaced them with new ones.  It seems like it was the last wind and the weather is improving further.  We have passed a medical examination certifying that everyone can go climbing!   We collected all the remaining things for the summit assault. We walked around the neighborhood just to stay awake. Once again, we double-checked the climbing plan and the weather forecast for the coming days.  Then the forecast can be found only by radio. We plan to go up to the Nido De Condores high-altitude camp tomorrow and spend the night there. Then go up to the Kolera assault camp for acclimatization and spend the night again in Nido, to consolidate acclimatization. And the very next day we go out to the assault camp and then to the top. Good luck to us and the weather!  Guides Sergey Avtomonov, Nikita Slotin and Dmitry Semenov.

We got up before dawn to hand over the bags that were being transported on mules. Then there was a light breakfast and we went towards the Plaza de Mulas. At first, everyone was freezing, then the sun came out, and we started to burn in the sun that came out. All day we walked to the base camp.  We were tired, but the whole team reached it in 9 hours.  Everyone is happy, fed by the excellent cooks of the camp, placed one by one in tents and now we are resting before the next day.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Sergey Avtomonov, from Argentina:

News from Aconcagua. According to the plan, we went up to the entrance to the Aconcagua National Park, issued permits, handed over things. As soon as we got on the trail, a storm began with a wall of rain and hail. For an hour we walked in the rain and when it ended, the sun came out and we began to dry, our team was stopped by a ranger. He said there was a river running along the trail and it wasn't safe to go any further. We had to turn around and go down. So all the groups who tried to go to the Confluencia camp were deployed. Now we have gone down to the village of Penitentes and are spending the night here. Tomorrow morning we plan to move up.
