Mule Train Leaving the Plaza de Mulas Basecamp (Luke Reilly)<\/p><\/div>\n

Jonathan, Martin and Co. have escaped the winds at C3 and are now down at the Plaza de Mulas basecamp.\u00c2\u00a0 This crew has simply done a super job.\u00c2\u00a0 The tradition at basecamp after a successful climb like this is to put down a couple slices of pizza and wash it down with an ice-cold beer or soda.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m guessing there will be a couple of high altitude showers this afternoon as well to begin the process of re-entry into civilization.\u00c2\u00a0 They will begin the long walk out to the road tomorrow where another shower will be waiting for them in Mendoza.<\/p>\n

An IMG Team Pulling into Low Camp on Vinson (Luke Reilly)<\/p><\/div>\n

Austin was able to make the move from Vinson basecamp to low camp yesterday and has reported that the weather has been spectacular.\u00c2\u00a0 They are taking a rest day today at low camp.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s time to start looking closely at weather models and put together a good plan for heading up to high camp to get into position for tagging the top.\u00c2\u00a0 The climb from low camp to high camp is a fun one and involves ascending a fixed line, similar to that on Denali.<\/p>\n
