Good news Chris, Tom, Ed & Brian have reached the summit of Aconcagua today, they are now back at base camp after clearing the camps from the mountian. Karen and Paul spent 2 nights at Camp 1 before heading back out, unfortuantely Karen's chest infection, which she picked up just before the trip, did not clear, they both decided to head back to Mendoza. Paul also called today to inform me that they were now safe and well in Mendoza. They were both going to relax and explore more of Mendoza whilst waiting for the rest of the team to arrive.
