Pretty mountains; ugly weather

As I've been telling people about the trip, they've been sending me various different links and things to read. Two different people (Collin and Alex) sent me links to Alpinist magazine's website. I have been unable to find a print copy of Alpinist yet, but it looks like a nicely done magazine.

The have their first issue availiable for download here. It's all about mountaineering in Patagonia. It was a good read -- I suspect that I'm in for quite a challenge with my NOLS course. Collin also sent me a link to their page describing Aconcagua. I think that mountain will probably have to wait for a different trip, but we'll see...
