February 7, 2017<\/p>\n

Weekend followed by two days of serious snow at our Ashford office, but now it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to catch up with our Aconcagua groups.\u00c2\u00a0 Nothing but good news to report.\u00c2\u00a0 Luke and crew have been working their way up the mountain.\u00c2\u00a0 Slept at C1 yesterday(about 16,000\u00e2\u20ac\u2122) and are carrying today to C2.\u00c2\u00a0 These are super important days.\u00c2\u00a0 Food\/supplies need to be moved up the mountain and the team has to continue their acclimatization process.\u00c2\u00a0 You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get to attempt a 23,000\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 peak without taking the steps and the time necessary to put you into position to take that final shot.\u00c2\u00a0 It all takes time and effort.\u00c2\u00a0 That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing.<\/p>\n

Mike\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s team in Mendoza<\/p><\/div>\n

Mike Hamill and crew all met in Mendoza, and with all their luggage, got permits, got packed up and left Mendoza today.\u00c2\u00a0 Penitentes is their final jumping off point so today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the time for final prep and prepping loads for the mules.\u00c2\u00a0 Their three day approach hike to base camp begins tomorrow.<\/p>\n

You can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t rely totally on forecasts but you do have to pay attention when available.\u00c2\u00a0 Rest of this week looks reasonable.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe some precip\/snow later in the week but clearing again by weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s quite good news for Luke\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s team.<\/p>\n
