Technology Hiccup


Despite all the technology being thoroughly tested prior to departure, the satellite phone refuses to lock onto a satellite down here in the southern hemisphere, making it impossible to update the blog when away from the hostal. The whole team are now here and we depart for Puenta Del Inca tomorrow, and I'm just hoping I can continue the blog in someway when we arrive in the mountains. The Spot GPS however, will keep updating our postion, just keep your fingers crossed! The forecast for the next week for Aconcagua is very cold, the summit is currently -35C in the windchill and base camp is below zero every night, so I'm glad I've packed my thermals! Wish us luck!
