Sorry folks this is gonna be short. Our Aconcagua team is great and we are settling into high camp at 19,600 feet. There's a lot of work for the guides so we gotta run. Tomorrow is looking good for a summit attempt so wish us luck!! RMI Guide JJ Justman

Go Uncle David! Glad to see all your hard work and big dreams paying off. Savor these moments. And say a prayer for us, you got to be closer to God up there. From all of us back here in central Minnesota, we’re proud of you!
