Luke and Team on the Summit (Luke Reilly)
Luke, Jay, Martin and team are a wrap. They’re ‘living large’ in Mendoza and arranging flights home. Great teamwork, great summit day and another great success. Done.
Eric, Anna, Leandro and crew are taking a rest day at C2 today. They made a strong carry yesterday to C2 (high camp) and now they’re strategizing on their summit bid. Winds are forecasted to remain reasonable for the next several days so Eric’s in no hurry, and wisely so. Likely move on Saturday to high camp and then, weather permitting, team will likely take a shot Sunday morning. Regardless, they’re doing well and right where they should be and with a good forecast, to boot.
