Hey everybody,
This is Billy. I’m back at Base Camp with the whole crew. We are all a little bit bummed out but happy to be back down at least with the thicker air here and looking forward to a home cooked meal tonight from the Grajales staff. It was a tough day up there yesterday and we spent most of the day today with heavy, heavy walk down. But everybody’s in good spirits for the most part and we’ll check in again later on as we walk out from Aconcagua.

Dawn & Len,we are happy to hear all are back at base camp safe. What an incredible adventure you and your team have had! A huge thank you to your guides for making what had to have been an extremely difficult decision to turn around when you were so close. We are looking forward to hearing more when you get home. Mom & Dad.

Hi Team,
Hope you are letting all that “thick” air go to your heads and the rest of you that has been oxygen-deprived and is in need of repair. Enjoy dinner. I think I remember hearing that you have another nice meal coming in the city too? Happy you are with each other. Safe travels : )
