Aconcagua: Gately & Team Make Summit Attempt

December 27, 2016

Posted by: Steve Gately, Hannah McGowan

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 21,500'

RMI Guide Steve Gately checked in from 21,500' on Aconcagua. The team made a summit attempt today with a push from Camp 2. Unfortunately the team members were forced to turn around without reaching the summit due to poor climbing conditions. The storms of the past few days had dropped lots of new snow. The team will stay the night at Camp 2. Tomorrow they plan to descend to Base Camp. RMI Office
