Aconcagua(6962) - Page 17

Hello, Seven Summits! Take an information about the first group on Aconcagua. We spent, our group, for two nights on the Nest of the Condor. There was  any condors, of course,  we have not seen it, and today have climbed the camp Colera, an altitude of 6 thousand meters. As practice shows, young people need more time for acclimatization. Unfortunately, it was proved by our youngest participant Christine. She went down with the second guide, Myasoedov Valery, down to the camp Plaza de Mulas. We, the remaining members, climbed to camp Colera. Our summit climb now depends only on wind speed. We will be here waiting for favorable conditions. And Christina with Valery will have a chance to try again, the time they have. Briefly, that is all. Bye! Sergey Larin.

Hello everybody! It is Vladimir Kotlyar. We are sitting now, having dinner in a tent  in the high camp Cholera, at six thousands. Wind, of course, is very strong. It seems that the tent was about to leave for a flight. But it's probably good - if we raise the right to the top. And actually, jokes joke, it is not best condition for climb, we will  fight. At five in the morning, we will try to exit on the summit bid, we will break through. Because this is the only one weather window, the unique opportunity in those days, that we set to climb. So, wish us luck! Adios! We will do everything possible to reach the summit of Aconcagua.

Today we have a day of rest and have the opportunity to use the Internet. But, in truth, it is not  the fastest))), so not a lot of pictures. I promise more photos on  return to Moscow))

It is a joke

We could not leave Mendoza today because a mudflow ruined road, it is closed. In order not to waste time in vain the command "Robinson and the three Musketeers" decided to take fitness!  Not only vine and steaks!

Mudflow that went between Confluencia and Horkones:

Vladimir Kotlyar: Unfortunately, we have not reached the top of Aconcagua. Sergey was very froze and we decided to go down ...

Hello! Here Vladimir Kotlyar a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Plaza de Mulas. Today we had an active rest day. We walked on a glacier, had a walk to the old, but the broken shelter. In general, we are quietly acclimatizing. Now we have passed the "Medical check" - in the morning. A couple of people asked to visit second time. But we hope we will catch up by acclimatization. And basically, we feel good, ready for the climb. The only thing - that the bad weather. So we will be waiting, looking out a weather window.

Best regards, from our team!

Buenas tardes, amigos! It is Vladimir Kotlyar, an expedition on Aconcagua. We are, united in our troika, are almost at the foot of the South Face of Aconcagua. However, nothing can be seen. The weather is bad. Everything is covered with clouds, snow. Right as Russian winter, or, well, a Canadian one. All we are OK, wonderful. We have come here with ease. And now, after a light lunch at this height, we are going to go down there to meet the second part of our group. All the best to all, Adios! Wish us luck, the weather!

Hi everybody! It says Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of an expedition on Aconcagua. We are now in the first camp, where we'll stay 2 days for acclimatization. Plaza Confluencia – on called this place. Now we sit, eat, gather strength. We went up not at 3 hours according a standard schedule, but less than 2 hours. While we were not in a hurry, we go slowly watching birds, surrounding landscape. In principle, it can not but rejoice. Hence, more time to rest .... (laughs) ... We all are well. We send greetings to our homeland: Canada, Voronezh, and in my lovely Caucasus, in Elbrus! To all my friends! By!

Yesterday we spent the night at the Plaza Canada, today we climbed to Nido de Condores. All members are in good conditions. What is proved by two facts. First, we were ahead of the porters. And second, now while the water is boiled, members read the literature. That is, everything is fine, everything is going according to the plan. So long! Sergei Larin.
