We get Plaza Francia!!!

The Summit Seduction Squad made it!! Today the team reach a very good goal in our acclimatization plan; We went from Confluencia to El Mirador (Panoramic View Point) of Plaza Francia reaching 4000 meters above sea level. The entire team has been very good and they have performed really well, both uphill and downhill on the way back to camp. We have enjoyed an excellent day with lots of sun and some strong gusts of wind, but with great attitude from all the climbers. Then we arrived at our camp and enjoy an incredible reception plenty of liquids and delicious food to refill energies for our upcoming challenges…Plaza de Mulas here we go!!
