The awesome number of seven climbers and two guides stood at the highest point of this half of the globe (22,834 ft) yesterday! Larry gave a call from his satellite phone, to say everything went well and that they were back at high camp. Everyone is happy and tired. They have a walk down to Plaza de Mulas (the Normal route base camp) ahead, to complete the Aconcagua traverse. And after a good dinner and night there, they will hike out to Penitentes (trailhead), to be back in Mendoza by Friday. Congratulations to a brave team. I attach a picture, from a previous season, to give you an idea of the achievement.
Regards!
