Aconcagua News. Today, the "Incas on the Trail" group acclimatized to 5,100 meters. After yesterday's snowfall, there was a lot of snow, and in some places, the walking was more difficult than usual.

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.

Greetings from Aconcagua Base Camp! Today, the "Incas on the Trail" group reached Plaza de Mulas. It was a challenging hike: 18 kilometers long and a kilometer vertical. The entire group reached the camp in eight hours, just before the bad weather set in. We settled into comfortable "domos", dome-shaped tents. Afterward, we had a wonderful dinner, and everyone went to rest after a hard day. Tomorrow is a rest day; we'll get ourselves together and relax. With you were 7 Summits Club guides Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiyev.
