They got to the summit today! After waking up early in the morning, they had a long tough day and reached the top of the highest peak in America at 22,834′. An incredible experience they will never forget!

We spoke with Rolo, the lead guide, who said they were fine at High Camp ready to spend the night there. Tomorrow they will continue to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp and they will come back to Mendoza the following day.

Congratulations for the big effort!
