Why climb with Berg Adventures

Aconcagua Expedition Dispatch

January 12, 2020 – Confluenca to Plaza de Mulas

The team’s first days on the mountain have gone extremely well. They arrived at the first camp on the mountain, Confluencia, on Thursday. Friday, they took an acclimatization hike and returned to Camp for the mandatory medical check before they were cleared to climb higher. Everyone checked out great so on Saturday they did the walk to Plaza de Mulas. Osvi reported to us that they did the walk to Plaza de Mulas in only 8 hours!

We send lots more photos soon, but here a few from Osvi to get a start.
