After a very windy day near the summit the team decided to come down to Base camp, where they are recovering. Unfortunately, the wind didn’t allow them to reach the summit but they are very happy and preparing to return to Mendoza tomorrow were they will be having a proper celebration dinner.
Surely this is an experience they will treasure the rest of their life.
Congratulations!!
The wind forced the team to abort the expedition, it is better to be cautious, as always the safety of our members is our main concern. Anyway they are all well and resting in base camp, preparing to go down to Penitentes where they will spend tomorrow night.
Finally, they will arrived to Mendoza on Tuesday and celebrate this incredible experience.
