The group had dinner together, sharing a lot of stories of the trip and enjoying a delicious meal paired with local wines.

We are attaching pictures of the summit day and the team at dinner.

The expedition reached the summit! After working hard during this long challenging day, they stood at 22,834′.

This is a big success! 8 expeditions and 8 summits!

They got to the top of the highest mountain of America and the highest point out of the Himalayas. This is an experience they will surely never forget.

The group is spending the night at High Camp and tomorrow they will complete the Aconcagua Traverse going down to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp.

Congratulations to them for the big achievement!
