Quick late afternoon update from the South. Mike and team at high camp on Aconcagua decided to stay put today. Too much wind to attempt the summit. Forecasts call for a lessening of the winds tomorrow and Mike’s team is ready to take a shot.
Josh McDowell’s team on Aconcagua moved into C1 today. they’re planning a carry to C2 tomorrow. All is well with the team.
Mt. Shinn (3rd highest) from high camp
On Vinson, Greg Vernovage reported in to say the team moved to high camp today. Great weather and MOS is forecasted for tomorrow. They’re prepping now for a summit attempt tomorrow. It’ll be a long day but it’s hard to rest at high camp when you have good weather.
Wish them all luck.
