ACONCAGUA: Summit!

Saturday, January 14, 2023 1:07 PM PT

We awoke early in the morning to chilly temps and moderate winds. Our summit bid had begun! It took several hours of slogging uphill before the sun finally blessed us with its presence. The rest of the climb was warm and the summit itself was windless!

The descent was smooth and exhausting. Everyone is back in camp safe and sound. Tomorrow we begin to descend into thicker air.

The Team stood on the summit of Aconcagua at 22,841' today!  All is well, and we will share more details of our climb when we get back to camp!

Enhorabuenaaaa amigos!  So proud of you and can’t wait to hear more and see the pictures.  Rest well, bask in the glory and never let go of the stoke!  Great that the weather and timing gods conspired to give you this gift of time for the summit bid.  It was the first day weather-wise and the last day trip timing-wise.  Rock on!
