Final Blog Update 4 January

Late last night, just before dark, I received confirmation from John Arnold that everybody that had stood on the summit yesterday was safely back at Camp Two, tired, exhausted…..but safely back.

This morning, I was up at 6am to prepare for a short hike with Edmond and about an hour down the trail I heard from Brad that Camp Two was just beginning to stir and prepare for the carry down to Base camp via Camp One.

It’s now close to 3pm local time and any time now I expect to see some familiar faces hiking into Base camp, grinning from ear to ear! It’s been an incredible journey, adventure, challenge and education for everybody involved and it took nothing short of the whole team to put 6 members on the top of Mt Aconcagua. Each individual had an invaluable input to the success of this climb, it just wouldn’t have happened, or succeeded without the 13 inspirational characters who left Canada and their families behind just before Christmas 2009.

We would all like to take this opportunity to thank our family and friends from the bottom of our hearts, without their support we would have never achieved the success seen here in Argentina. See you soon!
