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.
