The slopes of Aconcagua.
Winds are slowing decreasing high on Aconcagua and both IMG teams are moving up. Mike Hamill and team move today to C3, high camp. Reported great weather and the route is in supposedly good condition. Peter Anderson and crew made their carry to high camp and will move to high camp tomorrow. Forecasts we follow show winds at the lowest ebb on Tuesday and Wednesday. The guys have done their homework. Now they need to stay healthy for a few more days and get lucky with the weather. Mike will try to summit Monday morning, with Peter following on Tuesday. Hoping that luck and preparedness are on a collision path for both teams. We’ll know soon.
