A.P. 2 (Dec. 17, 2018 – Jan. 5, 2019)

They made it to the top today! It was very tough, as they faced very cold weather up there, but not even the strong winds could stop them.

A deserved achievement after working hard and waiting an extra day at High Camp with bad weather conditions.

They reached the summit of the highest mountain of America at 22,834′. A unique experience!

Later, they went back to High Camp to spend the night. Tomorrow they will go down to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp.

Congratulations to them!
