During the same period that I was climbing Aconcagua, Jonna was leading the Mandala Finnish Expedition. We met at Camp Colera at 6.000m. They have summited the Aconcagua the same day I have climbed it. I left the Camp on the summit day a bit earlier than the Finnish group. I met them coming down in the Canaletta, while they were still climbing. Five people plus Jonna were taking part to the Expedition. Jonna and four of them have reached the summit: an excellent result !
The day after the summit I left Colera Camp quite early to reach Mendoza on the same day. Unfortunately we couldn't have the time to climb together even one day.

Durante il periodo in cui mi trovavo sull'Aconcagua, Jonna faceva da guida al Mandala Finnish Expedition. Ci siamo incontrati al campo Colera a 6.000m e hanno raggiunto la cima lo stesso giorni in cui l'ho raggiunta io.
Ho lasciato il campo un po' prima di loro, e li ho incontrati nella Canaletta durante la discesa, mentre salivano. Oltre a Jonna, altre cinque persone hanno preso parte alla spedizione, e di questi, quattro sono arrivati in cima: un ottimo risultato!
