Mt Aconcagua Viewpoint

The furthest (and highest) point of the trip was at the viewpoint towards Mt Aconcagua. Standing at 6,961m, the mountain is the highest point in the Americas, the highest point outside of Asia and the highest point in the southern and western hemispheres. We were some way off the top but it was still freezing, enough so for Dan to hit me with a snowball. This is also officially the coldest footprint I've ever posted at -5 degrees!

After this we began a long trip back which included a stop off for some lunch. The views were spectacular once again!Read more
