Amazing weather and smiles abound here at Plaza Argentina base camp!

We had an amazing hike in to this [point, with blue skies every day. In fact this is some of the warmest and nicest conditions many of the porters and guides have seen in a long time. We carried up to Camp 1 two days ago, and enjoyed hiking across a rock covered glacier and through the penitentes. Today we move up to Camp 1, everyone is ready to go especially as we all know the trail!

Hi to all family and friends, I miss ya and will be in touch soon! Life is good!

Cheers,
Fischer

Bob- am quite surprised that, so far, I am finding this climb far more mental then physical. I hope I am up for the remaining challenge.
I am greatly enjoying spending time with all my fellow climbers, they are quite a diverse and interesting group.
