Aconcagua Expedition: Luedtke & Team Ready for Summit Launch, Minus one engine
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. In an en route update for everyone. It seems that we are experiencing some minor mechanical issues with one of our engines. This is nothing to be worried about but as a precaution they would like us to make a diversionary landing. RMI has informed us that the new aircraft will be able to continue from Camp 2 to the summit without any other issues. Unfortunately Nick will have to stay behind with the original aircraft. We have been told that it should be a minor fix and that he will see you in Basecamp for the flight back to the original starting point. Hopefully all will go well and the Summit window will stay open long enough for the four of you to accomplish what you set out to do. Otherwise Yev will be crying for years. Best wishes for the next two days and may the mountain be kind to everyone up there.
RMI Climber Nick Hanson
