team are \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbarely\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 in the Southern Hemisphere right now and part of the day will be in the Northern Hemisphere, actually.\u00c2\u00a0 They are up at the climber\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hut on Cayambe and taking the day to do more acclimatization and training.\u00c2\u00a0 At around 15,000 ft., it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good place to do both.\u00c2\u00a0 Luke called in late yesterday, 11 Jan, and said it was a spectacular night at the hut.\u00c2\u00a0 Stars a bunch.\u00c2\u00a0 If weather holds, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll make a summit attempt this evening\/early tomorrow.\u00c2\u00a0 At 19,000 ft, Cayambe will be their first big test.<\/p>\n<p>Josh, Robert, Martin and crew finish their hike out today from Pampas Lenas on Aconcagua and will be in Mendoza this evening.\u00c2\u00a0 Short hike and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking forward to showers and a hotel bed.\u00c2\u00a0 Mountain said no this time but it will be waiting when they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re ready for a rematch.<\/p>\n<p>And furthest south is our team on Vinson with Austin Shannon.\u00c2\u00a0 Camp 1 right now, around 10,000 ft.\u00c2\u00a0 Austin said they got a couple of inches of snow, which is a lot for Antarctica and that temps are actually \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcreasonably warm\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.\u00c2\u00a0 Remember, this is Antarctica so everything\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s relative.\u00c2\u00a0 They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re likely to use today to consolidate camp and get a bit more acclimatization before they try to make their big carry to C2, high camp.\u00c2\u00a0 One step at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Next up \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Jonathan Schrock heads to Aconcagua with our third team of the season.\u00c2\u00a0 They all arrive Mendoza on the 17<sup>th<\/sup> and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll follow their progress once they hit the trail.<\/p>\n<p>Phil Ershler<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 12, 2016
