The team celebrating a job well done! (Jonathan Schrock)
It’s a wrap. The team made it to Mendoza last evening.  Huge day but oh what fun. A big walk down to the road from Plaza Mulas was the first leg. Nice part was that there was very little in those packs. Then the duffle shuffle in Penitentes and then their private ground transportation to Mendoza. Showers, clean clothes and off to a late dinner…..steaks, beer, wine……you name it.
We can’t say enough about the crew. Jonathan Schrock, Martin Lucero and all our climbers did exactly what Aconcagua demanded and were rewarded for all their efforts. Just a super job in the most difficult of conditions up high. A safe, enjoyable summit was the result. Just great.
Some members may try to catch a flight home tomorrow but most will likely leave Mendoza on the 5th. They started off 2019 with a serious BANG. We thank them all for having joined IMG on Aconcagua.
