Aconcagua in the rear view mirror.
And now it’s just one. Luke, Kevin, Martin and team are in Mendoza. They hiked out the Horcones Valley today, did the ‘duffel shuffle’ in Penitentes and got in the van and headed for the barn. They’re probably eating a big steak about now. Well done to the entire team and thanks for making that 3 for 3.
That leaves Mike Hamill and crew to put a bow on the season. They moved to C1 today and are doing well. They’ll be methodical/consistent for the next several days, making a carry and a move to two more camps. Maybe throw a rest day or two in there which are mandated by weather or simply the need for a bit of rest.
