Luke’s crew last night in Mendoza
Two IMG Aconcagua teams: we pass each other this afternoon in Penitentes – one heading home and the other beginning their climb. Jonathan Schrock, Martin Lucero and team are finishing their hike out now and heading for Mendoza this evening. Luke Reilly, Nickel Wood, Leandro Villegas and team will begin their approach hike tomorrow. A landslide had this road closed all of yesterday but the delay was only temporary and won’t majorly impact our teams.
We congratulate Jonathan’s crew and wish Luke’s team the best of luck for a safe and successful expedition.
