Triumph on Aconcagua!

The picture says it all, we made it to the summit of Aconcagua! I don´t even know where to begin to describe the trip, it was definitely in the top 5 most difficult things I´ve ever done during my life. We survived 3 straight days of 80mph winds at 19,000ft Camp II to finally arrive at the suffocating elevation of 22,841 ft above sea level at 1pm on Wednesday the 11th of January. The trip was full of unique mountaineering challenges as well as fun times. We are extremely happy with the result of our expedition, and now we are glad to be back in Mendoza eating good food and drinking wine! Of course, I am most excited to be back with my beautiful wife after over 2 weeks of no contact whatsoever. For those of you who are interested in the particulars of the trip, I´ll try to add a detailed account to this blog entry at a later date. I will also be posting pictures with descriptive captions to give you an idea of what it was like up there. For now, I wanted to let you know we made it and are home safe. Hope everyone is doing great back home, and we can´t wait to see you soon. Lee
