Eben Reckord snapped this photo on his last Aconcagua expedition at C1.
This time of year things get a little hectic in Central & South America. Let’s have a look at what’s happening to our South:
Ecuador
Phil is in the air heading to Quito today.
Argentina
One Aconcagua program has wrapped. Our second team heads out today, led again by Eben Reckord. Three days to Base Camp aka Plaza Argentina. Three more IMG Aconcagua expedition are to follow.
Antarctica
Greg and his Vinson team are still hanging tight at the airstrip at Union Glacier after having summitted last week.
On the horizon (across the world)
Three more IMG Aconcagua Expeditions
Our Patagonia Trek will get started Feb. 11.
Mexico Volcanoes (Orizaba Only) gets going Feb. 1
Kilimanjaro – Our first of 3 Kili climbs led by Craig John gets started later this week.
Our first Winter Seminar of the season gets started on Mt. Rainier this weekend.
Ice Climbing in Ouray, CO. is where you’ll find a lot of our guides this time of year.
And for the skiers, snowboarders and snowshoers alike we have our Avalanche Courses at Crystal Mountain here in Washington.
I think that’s enough for the moment.
