If you're keen to take that step, there's still time to join us. #Aconcagua #RapidAscent #AlpenglowExpeditions | Alpenglow Expeditions

High winds created some epic conditions for our team on Aconcagua to acclimatize up to camp 2 today at 18,000 feet! 💨💨💨 Everyone arrived at Camp 2 for some hot soup and a little rest before descending back to Camp 1 at 16,500 ft. Despite the harsh conditions, the whole team dug deep and crushed it today. More updates on our summit push soon! 🏔️ | Alpenglow Expeditions
