Aconcagua journal entry:
Christmas Eve, 1999
“We
awoke with Christmas cheer.
Everyone went around and wished
the other handful of climbers a
Merry Christmas. There
were Germans, French, Swedish
and Norwegians in our midst.
We had a great Christmas dinner
of canned turkey, powdered
mashed potatoes, gravy,
stuffing, cranberries, and
peanut butter cheese-cake for
dessert. Tomorrow will be
a difficult carry, so tonight we
celebrate.” |
