The team has been battling some weather on the Aconcagua as of late, but this morning we awoke to crisp, dry air and snowcapped views on our horizon. Today is a rest day after our hearty carry up to Camp 2 yesterday. We will enjoy our coffee, well deserved naps, and lots of tent time to rest our bodies and minds for the move to Camp 2 tomorrow.
Wish us luck!
Enjoy the good weather, hope it stays that way. Wishing everyone a safe and successful summit! Can’t wait to hear all about the trip! Go Frogs!

Wonderful news about the weather break! We’re hoping it holds for you.
We finally had some snow and will be snowshoeing our home trails this morning. Going early so that Willa can have her nap on time, haha!
Ginger & Caleb spent the night and e we played Mexican Train. Had to make up a few rules, the directions were limited, haha!
Sending our love and prayers for the whole team’s good health and success! XOXOXO Momma and Dad

The last few members of the team are arriving back at the refugio after a successful summit of Cayambe! It was a clear morning, but quite windy above 17,000’. We will descend to Guachala today for some much needed rest before moving south towards Cotopaxi tomorrow.

On Sunday, we had an excellent day reviewing basic mountaineering skills on the glacier plus starting some advanced skills in the hut. Currently we are 20 minutes into the climb and it is a clear, calm night. Let’s hope it stays that way!

Glad you made it. . . on a side note, you’re “on-call” when you return and while I’m skiing next week.
Kamran sends his love, and since it snowed 1 inch today, he of course stayed home. I am piss!

Great job bro. Eric I’m so proud of you. Sorry I didn’t make the top. Doc says it’ll be 9 months to a year for my Achilles to heal. Next time we’ll do it together! Jake you are the best. I hope to climb with you again!

Nothing wrong with sitting tight and waiting for the right moment. Just stay safe and stay warm and have another bagel:) We’ll be praying for your weather to break… and you will get what you need. Looking forward to your next installment.
Cheers and prayers for you all!
