Lead guide Ossy called in today (Christmas Eve) to let us know the team are settled in at Low Camp having made excellent time in perfect weather. A really strong team.
The plan is to take a rest day tomorrow (and have a truly white Christmas!) and then the following day they’ll move up onto the fixed lines. They’ll more than likely check in again in a few days time to save those satellite phone batteries.
Meanwhile our Aconcagua teams are doing well and are nicely on schedule with our Speed Ascent climber due to land in Mendoza on Boxing Day and fly directly to Base Camp.
We’re wishing all our climbers, and you all at home following along – a very Merry Christmas and a safe holiday season.
Cheers
CTSS Team
