Climbers Mike Danaher, Patrick "Steve" Flynn, Christopher Howard and James "Dan" Watson and guide Martín Molina left for Mt Aconcagua yesterday. After a night in a lodge at the foot of the mountain, they began the hike in to base camp today. They will have an "asado" -barbecue- gaucho style tonight, in the trail. The approximation trek has some very nice views of their target, the Polish Glacier route. This looks like a strong team! We will be updating the information as we recieve calls from the mountain, via sat phone. We also haved radio communication with base camp (Plaza Argentina). I attach a picture of the group, just before leaving Mendoza. Regards,
