The climbers reached the 6.000m (19,685 ft) frontier! Everyone is ok, strong and motivated. They are finishing the carrying-moving routine, which consists of doing carries to higher camps, then sleeping in lower altitude, then moving the camp to the place where they had taken the carry, then resting, then repeating the process but at higher altitude. Busy days, goods for adapting the body and the mind to the strange atmosphere of the high regions of the world; only in the Himalayas it is possible to go higher than in this expedition, as Aconcagua is the biggest hill this side of the planet! I don´t have the summit push day yet, I hope to know in one or two days. Until then!
