A rather restless night – having to drink lots to support the acclimatisation process has its disadvantages too... After breakfast, including scrambled eggs, start for camp I at 09:10 to carry up our material. After 2 hours and 600m of altitude, short break at 4800m.
Here it finally is right in front of us: the highest mountain of South America, 6962m high Aconcagua with its impressive East face and the steep Polish Glacier.
