Team 10 summits Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Southern and Western Hemispheres!

Hi, this is Garrett Madison calling in for Alpine Ascents Aconcagua Expedition #10.

Right now we are all standing on the summit of Aconcagua, highest peak outside of Asia, highest peak in the Southern and Western Hemispheres! We’re all doing great.

We lucked out with the weather. We had a great day here amidst the many, many days of high winds and snow. And we’re looking forward to heading down together and going back to Mendoza for some much-deserved rest, relaxation, and great food.

Extremely lucky to be up here on the summit of The Stone Sentinel and we’ll check in soon.
