Congrats to everyone on the team for a wonderful S.American adventure. It would be super cool if other team members posted their impressions of the expedition.
Cheers and Well Done;

That was an interesting trip report which I enjoyed reading. I wish I could have been there. Congratulations on making the summit. You need patience to acclimatise properly.
Thanks Cy, being older climbers that have been on this mountain before we had the patience you referred to and had scheduled enough days. I should also mention that we spent seven glorious nights above 19,000 in our small, 2-person Marmot Alpinist tent without killing one another.
Hi William, thanks and yes it turned out we had good weather. Met Laurie on his way out with a client and chatted with him a while outside Pampa Lenas. Only saw Daniel briefly but ate a lot of food at his tent. They had tables outside this year but still need to expand further as it was more crowded inside the tent than ever.
hey Brad--nice report. It was fun being part of your expedition. I was glad I had this opportunity, vs trying to do it all on my own (like you guys did last year). Considering the mix of personalities and experience levels, it was a great team. Having been mentally focused more on the actual climb, I particularly enjoyed hanging out with new friends and enjoying the culture of Argentina. That part really made the trip for me.
Hope to climb with you guys again sometime.

It was a pleasure having you along and I'm glad you enjoyed your time there. Sue and I would enjoy climbing with you and many of the team again. We'll keep in touch regarding the Mount Robson climb and the next big one, Kilimanjaro, Africa probably in May 2008.

Re: Congratulations!Thanks Alpinist, it was another great trip to this mountain and even more enjoyable because we could share it with fellow climbers.
