I just got off the phone with a very happy Zach Jonhson, who was excited because of how well everyone on our Aconcagua team is moving up the mountain. The team made a carry of food and gear yesterday and made short work of the roughly 1,500′ elevation gain between camps. Today, they took a…
DetailsOur Aconcagua crew is doing great today back in Camp 1 after carrying a load of gear and food up to Camp 2 for an acclimatization hike. It was a beautiful day, with a bit of wind (pretty typical for the Andes). Shlomo made the call this afternoon, click and listen.
Jacob called to say they were all back to high camp for the night after what was a perfect summit day. They are brewing up hot drinks and soup, and getting ready for dinner. Tomorrow they’ll head on down to Camp 1 and continue on to base camp. Sounds like they are a pretty happy…

The Vinson team is on the summit!! Everyone is standing up there right now on a beautiful day.

We hope to get the call from the top of Mt Vinson in just a couple of hours.
Jacob called in at 7:30 am local time to report that it is a perfect day, no winds and blue skies, and they are heading for the summit! Everyone is doing great and excited that the wait is paying off with a beautiful day.
Grant called in today as well from the Vinson team. It sounds like everyone is doing well and they had some time on their hands today so we got a 2nd call. Looking good for a summit attempt tomorrow!
Joe B had the honor of calling in today from Mt Vinson high camp. They awoke to some winds and decided to remain patient and wait for the nicer weather predicted for the next couple of days. It’s been a bit windy, making it quite cold, but they are in a beautiful place and are…
Nick had the honors of making the Christmas call from our Aconcagua team. They carried a load of gear up to Camp 1 today to stock up for the move up the mountain. Sounds like they are having a good time and are doing great. Listen to the call, and have a wonderful holiday.
