Team Three Times A Lucky summits Aconcagua on a beautiful day with a little snow to celebrate!

Hello everyone, this is Ben and Danny calling in here with Team Three Times A Lucky on Aconcagua. And we are standing on top of Aconcagua right now!

It’s snowing a little bit, but we had a beautiful day, beautiful summit day. The forecast was forecasting windy and not such a nice day, but actually it was a beautiful day; one of the warmer days either of us have ever been up here before.

These guys did an awesome job getting up here today, guys and gal. Ketan decided to turn around at a couple hours into it this morning but he’s doing very well, just tired. And Jay decided to stay at camp today as well and Capi is down with them at camp right now. Everybody else is doing great.

We’re tired, we’re ready to head down and get back into our tents and drink some water and eat some food tonight. I’ll let you know how our descent goes once we get back to camp. I’ll give you a call just to let you know that we’re safely down from the summit.

But you should be proud of all of your family, friends, and loved ones here. They did an awesome job! Will did great, he’s standing right here. We’ve got John, we’ve got Elsie, we’ve got Haynes, who else do we have here? We have Zack and we’ve got Anja, and Danny and myself. And everybody’s doing great.

We’re getting ready just to head down right now and we’ll let you know how that goes soon. Ciao for now.

  • Is My Training Working?

    Is my training working? Whether explicitly spoken or implied, this is the question many climbers ask of themselves, their friends, and perhaps their guides. At Alpine Ascents, we hear this question weekly. While the best answer to this question requires a comprehensive understanding of you and your objective, there are simpler ways to get a […]
