IMG Senior Guide Luke Reilly and Team (Luke Reilly)<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

IMG Senior Guide, Luke Reilly, is in Punta Arenas, Chile with our second Vinson expedition for this season.\u00c2\u00a0 They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been shopping, packing, doing gear checks and getting acquainted.\u00c2\u00a0 Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s their briefing with ALE, the flight service.\u00c2\u00a0 That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a fun get together, as the team learns more about all the logistics involved with the flight to 80 degrees S. and they get to meet all the other climbers heading to Vinson for the final trip of the season.<\/p>\n

Then, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s up to mother nature to determine when they fly.\u00c2\u00a0 The plane, the IL76, is already loaded and ready.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe the weather\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good tonight, or maybe it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tomorrow, but everyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ready to take advantage of the first opportunity to get down there.<\/p>\n

Luke and team will pass Austin and team at the Union Glacier landing site.\u00c2\u00a0 Luke and crew will be heading to Vinson while Austin and team will be ready to begin the journey home.\u00c2\u00a0 So far, all is good and all is on schedule.<\/p>\n
