CONGRATULATIONS!

Our early private Aconcagua climb had a successful summit today via the Polish Glacier route. Guide Quique and climber Taylor climbed hard all day starting early in the morning and summiting just after 5:00 this afternoon. They’re now back in camp, certainly they’ll be looking forward to a good nights rest after a heck of a climb.

The Polish Glacier route is a far less frequently climbed ascent of Aconcagua than either the Normal Route or our usual Aconcagua 360 traverse. With some fixed lines, steep snow, ice bulges and strenuous technical climbing above 20,000 feet it is an extremely proud accomplishment.

Tomorrow Taylor and Quique will descend back to basecamp to enjoy the thick air and relax for an afternoon. After that it’s back out the Horcones Valley and down to Mendoza to put a bow on this highly successful expedition.

While this trip is wrapping up our first group climb starts tomorrow. We’ll keep you all posted as our climbers arrive and make their way up the Vacas Valley on the Aconcagua 360 route over the next 3 weeks.

Cheers,

CTSS Team
