Andrey Berezin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Argentina:
Buenos Dias from the slopes of Aconcagua! Our friendly company "Gatito Luis" left the hospitable Confluencia camp and went to the base camp of Plaza de Mulas. This is a serious test, as the distance is quite long: 19 km. We walked the first half of the way with a strong headwind, practically not gaining altitude. The second part of the path is shorter, but steeper. The result: a 9-hour walk from one camp to another. In Mulas we have the best conditions: comfortable double cabins, a separate dining room. We had steaks for dinner. Tomorrow we rest and recuperate. The group's guides are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.
