Aconcagua 2002!

Dispatch#54 February 18th, 2002.  Aconcagua Base Camp, Argentina. Team V Hi this is Ellie Henke calling in from Aconcagua Base Camp where we have the final news from the Polish Glacier summit team.  From Matt:  They made the summit at about 6:00pm as the lenticular cloud was easing off, they ran into light snow up there, conditions weren't too bad.  They were very tired at the time and headed down immediately. We got the call from about Independencia that they were just above high camp and that they were going to be arriving at High Camp at about quarter to eight or so.  So big congratulations to them.  Cece and the team were waiting at High Camp with copious amounts of hot drinks and soup for the returning folks.  They will be spending the night at high camp and tomorrow returning all the way down to Base Camp.  We look forward to seeing them tomorrow.  A big congratulations to the entire team for pulling off a reasonably difficult climb today.
