Best news is that Luke, Kevin, Martin and team are down at base camp on the Horcones Valley side of Aconcagua — Plaza Mulas. Big pizza lunch, drinks, big dinner and tons of sleep are on the agenda before their hike out tomorrow. One day walking (traveling light), a couple of hours in the van, and they’ll be checking into the hotel in Mendoza tomorrow evening. Sweet. Luke even got a photo from the summit out to us today.

Mike’s team ‘hung’ today at base camp after their carry yesterday. A little more acclimatization was in order. Never such a thing as too much time acclimating. They’ll be moving to C1 in the morning.
That’s all from Argentina.
