Viento Blanco had a farewell dinner in Mendoza 

Posted on February 16, 2017

Hello everybody,

This morning we drove back to Mendoza from Penitentes. We are back in Mendoza now. We had our farewell dinner and said all the best to each other for ongoing journeys and adventures. 

Thanks to all the followers who supported us on this journey and wished us the best. 

Thanks to all the climbers for joining Alpine Ascents on our Aconcagua expeditions and best wishes for all in future climbing. Be safe on the mountain, safety first !!!

Namaste,

Jangbu, Dylan & Mariano 

Viento Blanco back in civilization 

Posted on February 15, 2017

Hey everybody!

The team is back in Penitentes after our 18-mile hike down the Horcones Valley today. Everyone is doing well with hot showers and a great meal at the Hotel Ayelen. Folks are excited to share their stories from Aconcagua with family and friends. 

We will be heading back to Mendoza tomorrow and do our farewell dinner. Thank you all for following us along the way. We will have our last cybercast tomorrow. 

Cheers,

Jangbu, Dylan & Mariano

CYBERCASTS

Alpine Ascents provides family and friends the opportunity to follow our climbs as they proceed. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, we receive regular audio dispatches from the climbers and post them on our website. Not only does one feel the excitement of watching a team as it moves up the mountain, the archived cybercasts provide an excellent resource and learning tool when researching expeditions. Enjoy the show!

ALL CYBERCASTS

The expedition was a balanced mix of struggle, hardship, reward and joy as I expected it. Willi exhibited an encyclopedic knowledge on mountaineering, equipment, S. America and all other subjects. He kept us well fed, safe, amused and comfortable. He is an excellent guide and an excellent person.
