First real climbing day. Left Casa de Piedra. Forded the Vacas river on mule back and headed up a side valley. Climbed 3200 to 13,800 feet over about 6 hours. The ride to base camp called Plaza de Argentina, just as clouds were building. We got our tents up just as the snow started to fall. Snow began coming down hard but no wind and not too cold. Base camp is impressive, with permanent mess tents and even satellite/internet access. Altitude is now an issue for us but everyone is feeling good. Rest day on Saturday.
Quote of the day, "Where there is smoke, there is lomo."
