have arrived at basecamp great hike in saw condors and foxes, it seemed bit easier than last time, its been VERY windy for 2 weeks!! was v windy all way up hikes are long think of being in thre gym for 8 hours a day and that sort of does it! storm forecast for tomorrow again it was v stormy last night but it is fine when we are at basecamp, hope the wind will drop soon! Miss everyone but fel happy and strong. there is much more snow up here than b4 so we will be in crampons from here which apparntly makes things easier. Its very cold indeed as well but sunny.
First big test to camp 1 tomorrow so will try and give a report on that on Monday after that i will be out of contact but love from aconcagua send me messages!!! any way i am happy and feel good gudes are great. J XXXXXX
