29th April Slideshow

This month’s slideshow will present a brief account of a recent expedition to Aconcagua (highest peak in the Andes range) by MCKers Federico Hinrichs and David Disch. The expedition took place between 18 February and 5 March. It was pretty much the end of the season, so the crowds were gone and the mountain was quite snowed in. This made the trip challenging, but also a lot more scenic!

Kindly note that the slideshow will be held at Goan Gymkhana, by the poolside banda. Meeting from 8pm onwards. Slideshow at 9pm. Bar and restaurant facilities available.
