Dead on Aconcagua

by Lupino » Fri Jan 09, 2009 11:14 am

I'm very sad. Two climbers, Federico Campanini (an Argentinian guide) and Elena Senin (an Italian from Ivrea) died on Aconcagua under a storm below the summit, coming back to the base. http://www.ansa.it/opencms/export/site/ ... 30000.html
Condolance to friends and families of Federico and Elena.
