Aconcagua Expedition Dispatch
January 21, 2016 – Relaxing in Mendoza after a Very Successful Expedition
January 18th summit day heroes
Jason, Scott and Mac – great friends
Mac keeping busy
We missed Woodie and Mathes right to the end of our time on the mountain. They, like Mac, were a part of our team even after they left
During expeditions we make new friends who show their love for you in different ways, sometimes just by taking your crocs.
