Mark Postle, the Lead Guide will call us via Satellite Phone every 3-4 days for updates
Please do not get worry if you do not hear from me in a few days after a report since i may be busy getting other Expeditions ready or sometimes signal on Sat phone is really poor

All the best and lets wish them luck and some good weather!

Tomorrow morning I board a bus to the Pentitentes Ski Resort in the Andes. For the 21 days which follow I hope to make my way to the summit of Mt. Aconcagua, just shy of 23,000 feet with 10 other expedition members and three guides. While my 12″ Powerbook is a svelte little laptop it is 4.9lbs I do not plan on carrying in my already overloaded backpack and the opportunity to connect to a network is non-existent. Our expedition does have a satellite phone and daily reports will be filed with Rodrigo, the head of Aventuras Patagonicas. He plans to forward the updates by email and they should appear on rideabout.com.

For those who are curious to see what I’ll encounter in the upcoming weeks you can watch this short Aventuras Patagonicas video highlighting one team’s bid for the summit.
