The teams have descended today and are safely back at Aconcagua Base Camp having come down the other side of the mountain, making a full 360-degree circumnavigation of the peak.

They’ll rest up (and have a well-deserved shower) before starting their trek to Penitentes and then making the drive back to Mendoza. By this time tomorrow, they’ll be all checked into the Park Hyatt and enjoying that red wine after an epic, successful adventure. (Check back soon and I’ll post some fresh photos for you as soon as they come through to me) 

Congratulations to everyone on the team, and to those at home cheering them on (you guys can get ready for your incoming adventurers who are on their way home!)

Until the next expedition, happy adventures.
