It’s Time For A Shower

January 5, 2011 We received a short email from IMG guide, Kelly Ryan, last night.  Everyone’s off the back and back, safe and sound, in Mendoza.  I’m sure the email was short because everyone was in a rush to get showered and out to a sidewalk café for a celebratory dinner.  Congratulations to all!

December 28, 2010 The team’s carried now to C2.  That’s up and through the Ameghino Saddle and onto the upper part of the Guanacos Route.  Nice.  These are big days and you’ve got to give the guys/gals credit – they’re working hard.  Aconcagua isn’t a technical mountain, at least by most routes, but it is […]

Aconcagua Team At C1

December 27, 2010 Eben called on 12/26 to let us know that the carry to C1 went well.  All members got the job done.  It’s not an easy carry.  C1 is located at just over 16,000 ft so that makes it a good pull from base camp.  The terrain is a lot of lose rock, […]
