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.
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.
Congratulations for the ascent.We were there in this season and successfuly summited in 19 February after a hard day from Nino de Condores.
Realy nice pictures.(-;
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?

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!
