Just what we wanted to hear: Mike, Robert, Leo and all our Aconcagua climbers stood on top this morning. Great weather going up and then a snow storm rolled in and kept them paying attention during the descent. No worries — everyone’s back at high camp, fed, watered and tucked in for the night.

One big day remains tomorrow as the team will break down high camp, pack up and get everything down to Plaza Mulas, base camp on the Horcones side. THEN, the celebrating begins. So, very good news from our final Aconcagua team of the season. Folks are safe, highly successful, and (after they recover) will be quite pleased.
