About this episode
Kenton Cool shares his journey from Mendoza to Aconcagua base camp in Argentina, detailing the conditions and experiences along the way.
Tales From The Trails (TFTT) is back and this time Kenton is in Argentina. He takes us along on his journey from Mendoza to Aconcagua base camp and beyond, describing the conditions, the terrain, the camps and the people. Kenton has recorded this on his acclimatisation rotation before attempting the summit in a few days time. Aconcagua is known for being very windy and there are a couple of bits of audio in which the wind is quite prominent. We hope you will continue listening as it always drops off after a few seconds. Take it as evidence that this is recorded direct from the mountain!
