No summit yesterday. A medical emergency required Luke’s team to return to high camp from the Canaleta. His team is now down at Plaza de Mulas and begins their hike out tomorrow.
Josh’s team had an enjoyable rest day at Plaza Argentina yesterday and are making their first carry to C1 today. Winds definitely picked up last evening but are forecasted to relent somewhat later today.  Still no precip in sight.
Third team of the season will be heading to Mendoza at the end of next week with Josh Tapp at the helm. The Aconcagua season is definitely in full swing.
