The team successfully carried some loads to Camp 1 today.

There they cached the loads and descended down to Base Camp with empty packs to spend the night. 

Tomorrow they will take a rest day and they will move up to Camp 1 the day after.

These two pictures were taken today by the team, an absolutely beautiful day!

We spoke with Gastón, the lead guide, who said everyone is fine. 

We will keep you updated!

This amazing team got to Base Camp yesterday!

They are all doing fine and  have already got  to 13,800 feet! 

They will spend about 3 nights at Base Camp.

The first day at Base Camp is always a rest day and a good occasion to take a bath and go for a short walk. They divide the expedition loads to carry to the next camp: community gear, fuel, food and individual lunches. After resting at Base Camp, the plan will be to carry to Camp 1 and down to Base Camp again to hopefully move up the next day.

Florencia, one of the guides sent us this nice pic !

We’ll share more news as soon as we hear back from them.
