Five climbers and three guides summited today. Congratulations to all the team, that made this achievement possible. The whole group is happy at High Camp now. They started the day very early, with strong winds, but kept on going. Sometime after noon they got to the 22,834 summit, the highest point in the Americas! Thy descended safely to High Camp, where they will spend the night. Tomorrow they will go down by the other side of the mountain, to the base camp of the normal route (Plaza de Mulas). On sunday they will complete the trek to the trailhead, and they will sleep at the lodge in Penitentes. They will be back to Mendoza on Monday, to celebrate. Great team work!
