Aconcagua...

 Well, it doesn't always go as planned... after a great start, I got stomach sick on the 2nd night of the trek to base camp. 
certainly not the best timing to get sick. Even after taking an extra recovery day while the team was doing their first carry to camp 1, I've decided after 3 days, to call the helicopter and evacuate the mountain. Tough call to make but probably the smart one as I was getting weaker and weaker and I lost 6 pounds in 3 days. 

Already back home. Thinking about it, it was probably just a too busy schedule to climb almost back to back Carstenz, Vinson and Aconcagua. Got on the mountain very tired from the holidays and the start of the year at work.    Lesson learn for next time. 

and by the way, next time it's Denali, in May 2015. 
got an intense training plan built up for that until May 6th. and a full week of rest before leaving.
