\n\t\t\t\tSummit day Terrain on Vinson\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n <\/p>\n
Jonathan Schrock and his Aconcagua team are doing a power walk today.\u00c2\u00a0 Plaza Mulas to the trailhead, then the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcduffle shuffle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and then driving to Mendoza.\u00c2\u00a0 The horses are definitely heading for the barn.\u00c2\u00a0 A long day, for sure, but made infinitely easier with the knowledge that this team busted butt, endured some ridiculous Aconcagua winds, the Viento Blanco, and managed to pull off a safe, successful and enjoyable summit.\u00c2\u00a0 That is no small task.<\/p>\n
We congratulate them all and will get one final team photo from Jonathan and Tincho before declaring the trip a wrap.\u00c2\u00a0 Mendoza is in their sights.<\/p>\n
And, while Jonathan, Tincho and crew are walking, Austin and his team at high camp on Vinson are resting.\u00c2\u00a0 A couple of big days have put them at high camp and in position to take their summit shot.\u00c2\u00a0 No super hurry now, Austin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just trying to pick the right day weather-wise and strength wise to go get the job done.\u00c2\u00a0 This is where guiding becomes more art than technical skill —- finding just that right balance.\u00c2\u00a0 Regardless, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking forward to that phone call from the summit.\u00c2\u00a0 They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re patient and determined and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s normally a winning combination.<\/p>\n
