Our Vinson 2 team has spent the day exploring the incredible Union Glacier camp, fat biking in the snow and doing a 10km loop to get some exercise while we wait for the cloud cover to clear out at Vinson Base Camp.

As soon as the weather permits, they will take advantage, board the ski planes and fly to Vinson Base Camp to begin their climb.

Meanwhile on Aconcagua, the team are doing really well at Camp 2. Today they took a rest day, and while the 5th and 6th look reasonable for a summit bid, the 6th looks like better visibility. The game plan is for the Guides to do an extra load carry to Camp 3 tomorrow to reduce the overall weight for the climbers during their Camp 3 move the following day. They are considering;
4th Jan: Rest at Camp 2/Guides do an extra carry to Camp 3
5th Jan: Team move to Camp 3
6th Jan: Summit and descend to Camp 3
7th Jan: Descend to Plaza de Mulas base camp
8th Jan: Hike out the Horcones Valley, late drive back to Mendoza.
