Dinner in Mendoza
Busy again for IMG in South America. Here’s the latest – Mike Hamill has arrived in Mendoza. He’ll be doing a climb via the Horcones Valley on Aconcagua with 2 climbers on a custom trip. He crossed paths with Peter Anderson and his group as they were leaving Mendoza, on their way to Penitentes, for a final day of prep and packing. Josh Tapp and crew moved to C1 on Aconcagua today at 16,200’ They have a carry to C2 planned for tomorrow.
Luke Reilly and team called in from the refugio on Cotopaxi. They’re heading for bed early with a plan to take a shot at the summit later tonight. Wish them luck.
