Aconcagua, it's a start

After a very tiring trip Carstenz and an amazing expedition to Vinson, the holiday season was great to get some rest. But last week was exhausting, trying to keep up with work and finalize my bags for Aconcagua.


Been running all week, including today to get all my things together and make sure I don’t forget my climbing smurf nor my Gummy bears. 


This is my 5th of the 7 summits and probably the one I fear the most only because of the altitude. It’s going to be a comeback for me, 7 years after trying to go almost as high on Ojos Del Salado. At the time, I was young, dumb and unprepared for high altitude. Guess what, got Altitude sickness just over 6200M and it was over for me. Aconcagua is the test for me to determine whether or not I sign for Everest 2016 


Thanks again to everyone following me and supporting me in this crazy adventure. I couldn’t do it without you all.


I have a flight to catch, Argentina is waiting for me
See you all soon
