Broken LinkThe John Biggar link isn't working.
I saw this peak from the summit of Aconcagua. I'd like to go back and climb it someday.

Lost the tentHello, you said you lost the tent with the hard wind. Which tent was that? I'm thinking about going with a small Arpenaz 2 from Quechua. What do you think of it? Also, which campingground were you?
Thank you

Re: Lost the tentI can't talk for William, but the only camp that is really exposed to wind on the normal route is the Hoyada at 5600m. I had to wait out 2 days before being able to attempt the summit because of wind there, so I have no trouble believing what he wrote. It is not only wind but also the lack of large stones to build high walls. Most people would have a 4-season tent and I doubt a budget tent would survive.
