The climbers summited Aconcagua at 22,841 feet (6,961 meters) on Monday and were back in a nice hotel in Mendoza by Tuesday night. They left High Camp yesterday morning, descending to Base Camp by mid-day and hopped on a helicopter for the ride back out to the trailhead where a van was waiting to take them back to Mendoza. It’s a nice way to end the trip when it all works!

Congratulations to Chris and Josie for getting to the top of the highest peak in South America!
