Our Aconcagua team moved to High Camp. The winds stopped as if a switch had been flipped around 9:30 last night. The eerily calm night led to another calm and hot day. The summit winds were still high with snow blowing 1,000 feet into the sky but have begun to calm down, or all the snow has vacated the summit. We will get some rest, eat and hydrate before turning in for the evening. Sleep is hard to come by at 19,600'. Hoping for a successful summit day tomorrow. We'll keep you posted!

Thank you for the updated great news. So glad the team is able to get moving on up that Big Hill! It looks beautiful, what a great shot. Be wise in your decisions (& I will keep trying to figure out which one is Kevin in that picture

Such exciting news!! Can’t wait to hear how it goes tomorrow! Cheers to a safe and wonderful summit!
We got 15 inches of snow here. As soon as the now sleeting weather stops, we’ll try to get the dogs on the trails!
Hugs to all! Love Momma and Dad
