The news we’ve all been waiting for has just arrived from the mountain, both of the CTSS teams have summited Aconcagua in absolutely perfect conditions and amazing weather. (With an impressive 16/20 climbers on top)

A momentous achievement and special congratulations to Bart Baars and Guide Martin who successfully ascended the steep Polish Glacier (a rare feat indeed) and timed it perfectly meeting the rest of the team on the summit!

Everyone is now safely back at High Camp where they’ll rest up, before descending tomorrow to Plaza de Mulas and off the mountain the following day. They’ll be thrilled to get back to Mendoza for those well deserved red wines!

Thanks for following along – I’ll let you know when they get back to Base.

Cheers
Caroline
