Long, cold, hard day yesterday for Mike Hamill and his crew. But, it was a successful day. Mike and part of the crew were able to push through all the new snow and reach the summit. Super effort out of everyone. Reports are that winds today up high are in the 70 mph range. The team threaded the needle and now are all down safely to Plaza Mulas, base camp on the Horcones side of the mountain. Everyone will be back in Mendoza later tomorrow evening.
It took a great team effort yesterday and we’re glad to have them off the mountain – safe and successful.
