We are back!

Posted on January 20, 2017

Hola friends, family and loved ones,

The day begin clear and calm, perfect for flying. So we pack our duffle bags and dropped our tents. We bid fairwell to Antarctica and Vinson and all of the fun we had.
Summit Time

Hanging out!

Once we landed in South America our bus whisked us to the hotel where we dumped our luggage and headed out to find food and libation.
Happy campers!

We are on our way home tomorrow but we wanted to thank you for sharing our adventure. See you soon on another mountain!

All my best,Vern Tejas

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

I really enjoyed the expedition. Food was great, leadership was excellent and we had fun. Good decisions were taken, they were well explained. Everything was smooth. Great people. Sometimes, great mountaineers are not great guides. These two guys were great mountaineers and great guides.
