Team Be Like Bamboo summits on a beautiful sunny day!

Hello friends, family, and loved ones this is Brian with Team Be Like Bamboo. I am calling from the summit of Aconcagua, the highest peak in the western hemisphere! Twelve out of thirteen folks made it to the summit here and to be on a beautiful day! There’s barely any wind on top, nice and sunny. We made it up here in seven hours.

People are pretty, pretty tired but very excited, very happy. We’re just snapping lots of pictures then we’ll be heading down soon, back to our Camp at Black Rocks. So we’ve got a very happy crew here and they’re going to be happy to get back to Black Rocks and eat a lot of food as well.

So that’s it for now, we’re going to be heading down soon.
