<\/a>Aconcagua Summit Cross (Nickel Wood)<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Weather has been our friend this season.\u00c2\u00a0 Luke Reilly just called from the summit of Aconcagua.\u00c2\u00a0 Essentially no wind on top.\u00c2\u00a0 Crew will descend to high camp shortly for the night.\u00c2\u00a0 Tomorrow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s goal is Plaza Mulas, base camp on the Horcones Valley side of the mountain.\u00c2\u00a0 The team has to climb just a bit from high camp and then it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a straight shot down to Mulas.\u00c2\u00a0 The mountain boots come off there and the approach shoes go back on for the final day out to the road and Mendoza.\u00c2\u00a0 Team should arrive Mendoza later on Wednesday.\u00c2\u00a0 A BIG congratulations to everyone.\u00c2\u00a0 What a great accomplishment!<\/p>\n
Final team for the season is working their way through the camps now.\u00c2\u00a0 Eric Remza and crew are making their move today to C1.\u00c2\u00a0 That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s around 16,000\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.\u00c2\u00a0 Carry and a move, carry and a move and that will get them to high camp.\u00c2\u00a0 Forecast is still favorable so they should be able to make good progress.\u00c2\u00a0 Regardless of the weather, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll still need time to acclimate and the plan for a carry and a move to each camp is what makes that possible.\u00c2\u00a0 You throw in a rest day, if needed, and weather days, if required, and you eventually arrive at high camp.\u00c2\u00a0 We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll keep tabs on their progress as Luke and his crew will be off the mountain and into Mendoza before we know it.<\/p>\n
Good news today.<\/p>\n
