My partner and I head down over Thanksgiving, anyone else going this year?
I'm going to Mendoza five days earlier than my partner with hopes of climbing/acclimating in the Cordon del Plata range. My plan is to climb Cerro Vallecitos and/or Cerro Plata. Long shot, but if anyone is down that way and interested in joining up for these peaks, let me know.
Cheers!

Re: Aconcagua 2015/16
I'm heading down right after Christmas. I'd like to hear how it went. There should be some deals with the "Blue Rate" this year. I've heard some places at basecamp only take dollars. I'm hoping for a shower and a decent meal.
More Colorado than the Natives.

I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

Heading down Dec. 26 - going solo. Looking forward to it! Using Inka for logistics. Hope to see some Coloradans down there.
