From AAI Guide Richard Riquelme…

“Hello everyone, this is Richard Riquelme calling from AAI Aconcagua Team 2. It is January 8th, 2017 and we are at BaseCamp. We enjoyed a nice relaxing rest day after carrying to Camp 1. It is, really really windy down here. Not as windy as it is up high but it is quite windy down here. Everyone is doing very well. Very happy. We have been enjoying some good meals and chairs here at BaseCamp. But we plan to move up the mountain to Camp 1 tomorrow despite the winds so they better not get used to the luxuries of BaseCamp and get ready for some time inside the tent. That’s it for now. Will check in tomorrow.”
