Plenty of action on the peaks over New Year!

Hearty Congratulations to:
Ms Eva Steinwald
Mr Adrian Tyrell
Mr Blake Chen Li
Mr Ryan Bennett
Mr Louie Terrazas
Mr Elad Benjamin
Mr Jacob Oatman
who summited on Aconcagua today. Everyone is now back at Camp 3 doing well.

Fresh off Vinson, Anna K arrived in Mendoza today to dovetail her Vinson climb with a private custom climb on Aconcagua. She will do a speed ascent on the Normal Route.

Further South, in Antarctica, our second Vinson team is eagerly awaiting their flights to Vinson Base Camp. They are currently enjoying the creature comforts of Union Glacier but keen to get going. We hope they will fly in shortly.

Over in Africa, our Kilimanjaro team are doing great, with Guides Tendi and Gerry. Today they reached Barranco Camp (13,000ft |3,900m) having seen the Lava Tower otherwise known as the Shark Tooth. Tomorrow will tackle the steep Barranco wall onto the Southeastern flank of Kibo which offers superb vistas of the Southern ice fields up to Karanga Camp – the last water point in the steep valley.

All is well in the hills,

Cheers
