Luke and a couple members of the Cayambe summit team.
The call came in this morning from Luke to let us know they’d had a successful summit of Cayambe this morning. Weather was pretty ‘misty’ yesterday but cleared off last night, enabling the team to summit. Well done. They’re already down, packed and on their way out, heading for the hot springs of Papallacta. They’ll spend the night there and then start thinking about #2 — Antisana.
Josh McDowell let me know that their team will be getting together for a final dinner tonight and then everyone will be heading their separate ways. Weather was tough and left no opportunity to even attempt the summit. Bummed but happy to be safe and enjoying everyone’s company in Mendoza.
