Aconcagua I Group Headed For Camp 2

THE TEAM IS CRUSHING!

The team have done incredibly well these last few days. They’re overnight trip to Camp I went perfectly, with lots of rest and few problems from the altitude. Yesterday they headed up to Camp II for the night. This is basically the start of their summit push! They will move sratgeically higher over the next couple of days according to the wind forecast! If the winds look low enough for a summit day on the 31st they will be sure to reach Camp 3 by tomorrow afternoon. If the 1st looks better, they’ll stay low and allow their bodies the extra oxygen at Camp 2 an extra day. We wish them all the best! The weather still looks stunning…. what a way to end the year! Good luck and safe climbing!

“Willie and Damian set the bar as high as the mountains they climb!”

“In my experience, few provide a more complete, safe and rewarding expedition experience than the Benegas Brothers. When it comes to expedition judgement, safety and climbing ethics, Willie and Damian set the bar as high as the mountains they climb. There’s a lot more to high altitude climbing expeditions than just getting to the top. Team dynamics, the opportunities to learn skills, making lifelong friends, enjoying new cultures and cuisine are some of the important elements of an expedition. In my experience, few provide a more complete, safe and rewarding expedition experience than the Benegas Brothers. When it comes to expedition judgement, safety and climbing ethics, Willie and Damian set the bar as high as the mountains they climb. My son Matt and I have 100% trust and confidence in Willie and Damian and when I’m not climbing with Matt, it’s reassuring to know he’s with the Benegas Brothers. ”
