Aconcagua Expedition Dispatch
January 21, 2020 – Long Walk Out - Park Hyatt Here We Come!
Osvi called the Berg Adventures office today to report that Mario, who has been driving for us for many years, was waiting when Patrick, Joe and Shannon got the the parking lot at the Harones Ranger Station along the highway. The team is done with walking and climbing for a while and they are comfortable in the van driving now. Showers at the Park Hyatt Mendoza await!
Osvi and the staff will meet the mules and bring the duffel bags back to the hotel.
Congratulations to the team! While they are on the way out here are a few photos from summit day; we will send some more when everyone gets back to the city. Time to celebrate a great climb and we can think of no better place to do this than Mendoza Argentina.

Patrick is not cold. Thanks to Mountain Hardware.
It was not very windy on our summit day, but there is always some wind on Aconcagua.
