Good news from Antarctica: Our team got confirmation that they will fly off the ice today, back to Punta Arenas, Chile, and start their journey home! That’s officially a wrap on a fantastic season on Vinson for us, with 100% summit success for all of our climbers!

Here are a few shots from our 2024/2025 season:

Meanwhile, in Ecuador, the team spent time exploring Quito a bit with a trip up the Teleferiqo and a short acclimatization hike. This was followed by a trip to the equator, where they balanced some eggs on the head of a nail and watched water swirl in opposite directions in a toilet bowl.

Yesterday, the entire group climbed to the summit of Rumiñahui to acclimatize; despite some rainy weather, they had a great time!
Today, they are doing skills training on the lower slopes of Cotopaxi to prepare for their upcoming climb!
