Great news! They got to the summit!

It was a challenging day, but they worked hard and got to the top of America at 22,834′. This is also the highest peak out of the Himalayas, what a great achievement!

They will spend the night at High Camp and will go down to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp tomorrow. The team will hike out along the Horcones Valley the day after tomorrow, completing the Aconcagua Traverse.

Congratulations to all of them!
