A quick update on the December 17 Aconcagua team: They left High Camp at 6:00 a.m. this morning, and when we last heard from the at 8:00 a.m. (MST) they still had a couple of hours to go until they reached the summit at 22,841′!

We’re hoping that the team will call in a dispatch from the summit, and we will update you on their progress as soon as we can. They have clear, very good climbing weather and the guides mentioned that everyone is doing well.
