Summit of Vallecitos a success

Basecamp Steinbach is happy to report that David and Adam made it to the summit of Vallecitos this morning after a trek of approximately 5 hours. Getting to the summit involved a bit of hard work, we're told -- evidently the team had to practice their rock climbing in order to make it to the top. This was, however, not quite enough of a challenge for a couple of members of the group... so Adam and Jen decided to bag a second nearby peak while they were up there. The rest of the group were quite happy to rest!! The plan for tomorrow is to get the gear out to a point where they can be met by the mules who will then carry everything the rest of the way while the climbing team hikes. Everyone is tired but happy with their success so far. Keep posted  as they head off to Aconcagua.
