Aconcagua: Justman & Team Descend to Basecamp
Hello everyone this is the Aconcagua team coming at ya safe and sound at base camp! This will officially be our last blog. So instead of blabbing on about the same old same old...I'm going to pass the electronics around so our team members can give their own shout outs. JJ Justman
Hi Mom and Sam and Giulia. We both are alive and recovering from a successful summit with beers. Love you, Dad and Jenny
Hey Morgan, Mom and Dad. Had a great time summiting ! Miss you guys a lot. Love Adam!
Hi Vera Kim likely Cary. I got to 21,000ft so no summit but am now at base camp very difficult so 31 miles to walk out then back to Mendoza. In 2 days very burnt out, but ok. Bye -David P
Jenny and I give a shout out to all the Hines' and Gazzolas. We conquered Aconcagua 22,841 feet.
I didn't quite make it to the summit but sure am enjoying the experience! Hi to Mom and Dad, and thanks to Linda for holding the fort down...Sue

Sue,
We are ALL proud of you for what you’ve accomplished. Now get down safely and enjoy some Malbec!

Nice job Jenny and Uncle David! So I take it that you don’t need help with storm windows with your climbing experience? If they didn’t have a George’s in the mountains then you guys need a dose of it asap. Please come back so we can eat breakfast on the weekends troopers.

Hey Sue, Jo, Robert & team,
Only winners take on what you all did! We will have to connect so you can share the experience once you all get back in your routine and gain perspective!
Cheers to all!

Great to hear from you both first hand. Safe journey down! And I can’t wait to hear if your backpack is waiting for you in Mendoza, Jenny. Let me know if I need to send out the American search party up here. Love, M/N

Robert, Jo, and Sue,
Congrats on another amazing adventure and all the prep that went into it! Coincidentally, I’ve been flying between Sacramento and Santa Ana non stop for the last week- which led to me thinking of you guys and checking the RMI blog constantly. Safe journeys downhill, and enjoy some delicious steak back in the city!! Can’t wait to hear the tales. I’m so proud of you guys!
