- The move to High Camp on Aconcagua (Peter Adams)
Here’s the news from IMG AROUND THE WORLD.
First, Mike Haft and crew are up, having a quick breakfast and heading towards the summit of Kilimanjaro. Weather is fine so here’s hoping everyone stays healthy and strong and is able to reach the top. A huge effort is required and we’re pulling for them all.
Chris Meder has picked up his second Patagonia team for the month and is on his way to Puerto Natales, with a little penguin viewing on the way. He’s looking forward to his second great Patagonia trek. The walking starts tomorrow.
On Aconcagua, Luke Reilly just checked in to let us know that the team put in their final carry today to C3, high camp. They’ll move up to C3 tomorrow and try to take their shot on Sunday morning. Forecast is favorable and the crew’s getting anxious. Mike Hamill and team pulled into base camp today. They say good-bye to the mules and the members take over the carrying duties from now on. Tomorrow will be a day off for them. Makes total sense after their first 3 days on the trail and their first night at these altitudes.
All’s good with IMG teams in the Southern Hemisphere.
