<\/a>Chimborazo (Romulo Cardenas)<\/p><\/div>\n
Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s get everyone updated on the progress of groups \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcdown South\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 before the weekend.<\/p>\n
Vinson<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c doing some serious \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcrelaxin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Team is at Vinson base camp waiting for the Twin Otter to be able to fly them over to Union Glacier camp. A bit too foggy now but the IL 76 is not scheduled to come in until the 20th<\/sup> so the team couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be in a much better position. Vinson is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcin their rear view mirror\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and they have plenty of time to make that flight. All is good.<\/p>\n Aconcagua<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c team has moved into C2. Both the carry and the move have gone well and the team is getting used to their higher sleeping altitude. A carry to C3 tomorrow is likely, conditions permitting. Now, the jockeying with the weather is beginning. Trick is to be at high camp (C3) when the forecast looks reasonable for a summit attempt and, of course, balance that with the time constraints of any expedition. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing well and are where they should be.<\/p>\n Ecuador<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c done. Team is flying home. Probably saw more and did more than they had imagined. Not quite the summit of Chimborazo but everything else could not have gone much better. Thought we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d share just one more photo of the elusive Chimborazo to wrap up the expedition. Thanks to all the team members for joining IMG in Ecuador. Next opportunity to experience this trip is June<\/a>. Hope we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re writing about the trip you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re on in a few months.<\/p>\n Phil Ershler<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" January 18, 2019 Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s get everyone updated on the progress of groups \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcdown South\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 before the weekend.
