We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had a week to catch our breath and now it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to get back to talking about how IMG trips are going in the Southern Hemisphere and Mexico.<\/p>\n
This will be our final Mexico trip for the season.\u00c2\u00a0 IMG Senior Guide, Charlotte Austin, is at the helm of this final trip and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re already off and running.\u00c2\u00a0 Charlotte and everyone arrived without issue AND with all their luggage.\u00c2\u00a0 We love saying that.\u00c2\u00a0 That was on Saturday.\u00c2\u00a0 They left yesterday for the town of Amecameca and an acclimatization hike in the area of Cortez Pass, near the first objective —- Ixtacciuatl.\u00c2\u00a0 The acclimatization process continues today with a carry up to high camp.\u00c2\u00a0 Good to get some food\/fuel\/water up to there to lighten the load when they move up tomorrow.\u00c2\u00a0 Plus, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the perfect way to spend another acclimatization day.\u00c2\u00a0 Team will spend tonight at the Altzimoni Hut, right near the pass.\u00c2\u00a0 Trying to get in as much acclimatization time as possible.\u00c2\u00a0 Team is doing well and, as we often say \u00e2\u20ac\u201c so far, so good.<\/p>\n
Very similar report from Team 4 on Aconcagua.\u00c2\u00a0 IMG guides Luke Reilly, Jay Lyons and Leandro Villegas are together with their team in Mendoza.\u00c2\u00a0 Again, NO lost luggage issues \u00e2\u20ac\u201c hooray!\u00c2\u00a0 The guides cranked yesterday and finished food shopping\/packing, today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s project is to do final individual gear checks and secure their permits for climbing Aconcagua.\u00c2\u00a0 They head out tomorrow for Penitentes where they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be making up mule loads and having one last hotel night before beginning their 3 day approach to base camp.<\/p>\n
