They got to the summit! Two teams summited today, having 14 people on top!

After a long day, they reached the top of America at 22,834′. This is also the highest mountain out of the Himalayas! It is for sure an experience they will never forget!

The team will sleep at High Camp and tomorrow they will go down to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp, completing the Aconcagua Traverse. They will return to the city the following day.

Congratulations for the big effort!

The group has already started the hike that will take them to Plaza Argentina Base Camp at 14,200′.

The trail goes along the Vacas and Ameghino Valleys and it gains altitude progressively, which is great for the acclimatization process. The team will spend their first night in the mountains at Pampa de Leñas.
