Artesonraju: Elias & Team Reach Summit Ridge!

Update 5:00 pm PST Elias and team are back at high camp and will descend off the mountain tomorrow. All is well and he will check in from Huaraz. ______________________________________________________ Hello! This is Elías and the team calling from the summit ridge of Artesonraju. We’ve been climbing since midnight. It’s 10:20 local time. We’re super-psyched, but unfortunately we cannot reach the summit. We are literally a stone’s throw from the top, and it’s got a hefty cornice, and it’s very dangerous. We don’t find it worth it to continue the last 100 meters to the top, so we’re headed down. That’s it for now!
