Rikki checked in via his Garmin inReach unit this afternoon and said “…All is well. Carry to Camp 1 was a success. Expecting some good weather for the move up tomorrow!”
That pretty much sums it up. Always nice to come out of the gate solid and prepared for an expedition. Seems like this crew did their homework and set themselves up for success. Let’s keep the positive and strong energy going.
Right on their tails is Rob Jantzen and Leo Villegas. Rob arrived in Mendoza yesterday and was able to knock out all the food shopping and is greeting the climbers as they fly in this afternoon and evening. They will get to know each other at a group dinner tonight and will hit the ground running tomorrow with acquiring permits.
