8 climbers and three guides made it to the 22,834 ft summit the highest spot in the whole hemisphere and the highest mountain in the World outside the Himalayas. Guide Jacob called from High Camp when they returned. Everyone was tired but deeply happy. Now they will complete the traverse of the mountain, by going down by another side of the mountain. They will descend to the Normal route base camp, Plaza de Mulas, tomorrow. Then they will trek to the trailhead on Sunday, spend one night in the lodge there and come back to Mendoza on Monday. We are very proud of this huge team effort and look forward to share a good steak (and wine) with them. I attach a pic of the summit (from last season), so you can share the emotion. I will still send one more update when they et out of the mountain. Until then!
