    AP 1 – Ready for a new season!

    A.P. 1 (Nov. 30 – Dec. 18, 2024)

    We’re so excited to be starting a new season!

    The team arrived in the city and had a group meeting with their guide to get to know each other.

    Today, they were taken to the trailhead to begin the 3-day approach hike along the stunning Vacas Valley. They’ll spend their first night in the mountains at Pampa de Leñas.

    Tomorrow, they’ll continue the approach hike toward Plaza Argentina Base Camp.

    Their lead guide is Emiliano Poletti, and he’s taking a satellite phone to keep us updated.

    Looking forward to a great season!
