"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Love the pictures!Congratulations on a successful trip. The pictures are fantastic, some of the best I've seen of Aconcagua. What kind of camera did you use? I went just a few weeks after you and opted to bring a simple point and shoot thinking it wouldn't be practical to bring a big DSLR.

Re: Love the pictures!I have a digital Canon EOS 400D with a Tamron 17-50mm 1:2,8 and a close-up lens Canon 70-200mm 1:4. I did not take the close-up lens up to the summit because of its weight, but now I regret it.

Re: Amazing picturesI used a Canon EOS 400 D and two zooms. But most important is to have your camara ready and not in the backpack!

Re: Good job.congratulations also to YOU! I think this year was a season with really good conditions at Aconcagua. How was cooking at Nido de Condores. Did you find enough clean snow for melting in the vicinity?
