Sadly we’ve been out of communication since we left Puenta Del Inca and our satellite phone refused to work. But here at base camp we have internet….hooray!
Its been 30C plus degrees for our hiking, but sometimes down to 5C at night, tonight it’s sure to be colder here as we are right on the snow line. All the team are fit and healthy and looking forward to a days rest. It’s very windy though at the moment, some of the returning climbers are reporting winds up to 60 mph on the summit.
Everybody says "HI" to their friends and family, have a great Christmas, next report in 2 days, but please don’t forget to follow us on Spot on this blog. (click on the map to the right)

Awesome news. Glad you are all healthy. Thanks Jim E. for the Blog updates until now. Merry Ho-ho! All the best with the effort.
Great news, Guys!!! We are glad to hear from you! We've been following your progress on Spot, but it's nice to receive a blog update and news that everyone is well. Merry Christmas to you, Kevin, and to all of your fellow climbers from Cheryl and Sam
Merry Christmas. They have WIFI at Plaza Argentina!! How much? Will have to bring my Netbook after all!!
Merry Christmas Jerry Mason and the rest of your amazing crew. It is wonderful to track your progress on the map and to be able to read your blog. Please keep sending more information because we are all anxious to know how you are. Have a safe, happy adventure. We are going away for a week starting Dec. 27, Knuff Lake near Sunpeaks, Kamloops. We have to confess that it is no where near your adventure because we will be staying in a comfortable log house with running water and heat but no internet, tv or telephone. Have fun Jerry, Happy Christmas to you and your fellow mountain goats! What are you eating for Christmas dinner? Love from Susan and Larry
Hi Dad (Keith), it's Sarah! Hope the climb's gone well! Have a merry Christmas! We all miss you so much and are thinking of you everyday. Good luck climbing!
Hi Keith. It's great to hear from you guys again! We've been very curious to see how you're doing and enduring! Glad to hear all is going well, hope your backpack is doing OK! Looks a little stark there! Is very green and chilly here. We'll likely have a sunny Christmas tomorrow and will all be thinking of you as we chow down on the good stuff. Hope you like your little gift we sent, especially Sarah's! Love Lorill, Ryan & Sarah
