The expedition got to the summit today! Guide Wesley and three climbers took advantage of the good weather window and stood in the highest point in the world outside of the Himalayas, the summit of Mt Aconcagua (22,841 ft). They got to high camp very tired but very happy.
Then tomorrow (Monday) they will complete the circumvalation of the masif, desdending from the mountain by a different route.
They will trek to the trailhead on Tuesday, then spend the night at Penitentes, a lodge with showers, coffee, beer, tv; new things after so many days in the wild.
We will welcome the climbers in Mendoza by Wednesday. Congratulations!
