The weather improved over the last day-and-a-half, and the team was able to move up to Camp 3 yesterday (Sun, Feb. 6). This morning they woke up early and left high camp for the summit at 5:30 a.m. We’re getting occasional updates today from Base Camp, communicating via radio with the guides on the hill, so we will update when we get any news. Generally when all is going well, they are just focused on climbing and we don’t hear much from them until they are back in camp.
UPDATE: On the Summit!! 3:30 p.m. Argentine time. All is well and they’ll be headed back down to high camp soon.
Final UPDATE: As of 6:30 p.m. Argentina time, the climbers are all back in high camp for the night. Nice job team!
Congrats on the summit!! Wahooo!!
Yea yea yea!!!!! Go Team FJC!!!
