The 7 Summits Club Guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Argentina:
Greetings from sunny Argentina! Or rather, from the gloomy, snow-covered slopes of Aconcagua. Yesterday there was our day of summit climbing. Everything was going well, but vigilant Argentine rescuers turned us back, citing poor weather conditions. The weather was rapidly deteriorating. Today we descended to our base camp. There was a lot of snow, which is unusual for this time of year. The mountain has been closed for two days. We're all a little sad, but new routes and the thrill of meeting the mountains and our friends await us.
