2014/2015 Aconcagua Expedition Dispatch 10 - January 8th - Camp 1 16,300ft(4940m)
Guides:
Richard Riquelme
Aidan Loehr
Climbers:
Eric Johnstone
Kim Olson
Larry Cochrane
Robert VanEtten
Doug Roberts
Mark Smith
The team has been waiting patiently at Camp 1 the past few days waiting for the strong winds to die down. Unfortunately, three climbers from the team descended with Richard yesterday due to altitude illness and a strained back muscle. Aidan and the other half of the group cached at a Col between Camp 1 and Camp 2 in preparation for the move to Camp 2 tomorrow, weather permitting.

Smitty, We've been reviewing your progress the past couple of days. Some of the dispatches are a little hard to hear: but, it sounds like you are still hiking. Good luck on the rest of the climb, stay warm and out of the wind as much as possible. Looking forward to seeing you and the pictures / getting the first hand account. Wally and Jeanna
