Aconcagua Expedition Dispatch
January 10, 2013 – The Guys Made it Down
At Approximately 1:20pm (local time), Neil Aisenstat and Dan Gormley made it to the bottom of Aconcagua.
Sergio did not even look tired when we got down. The Bolivian staff is amazing. Maria, who returned all the way to Base Camp last night, was back at Berlin Camp this morning, in time to fix breakfast for Neil and Dan.
They carried everything off the mountain in one load today, so we are all set to move out for Mendoza when the mules arrive tomorrow.

We made it down.
Dan said Fanta first.
Yes!
