The team completed the longest part of the expedition. A 9 mile trek to Casa de Pierda (10,665ft). They were able to get a small glimpse of the Polish Glacier on the mountain! The group will be headed to Plaza de Argentina at 14,000ft today, another difficult portion covering 7 miles and over 3,000ft of elevation gain. A well deserved rest day is nearly here!
