Adventurer Mark Beaumont reached the 6,962 metres (22,841 ft) high summit of Aconcagua in Argentina at 2.55 pm (5.55 pm GMT) today after ten days of climbing.
Located in the Andes mountain range, Cerro Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas, and the highest mountain outside Asia. Although not technically difficult, Mark and his team had to deal with the debilitating effects of climbing at altitude, with the last 100m being particularly gruelling.
After a well earned break over Christmas, spent photographing the dramatic wintry landscapes of the Peak District, John Beatty will be back on the road at the end of this month with his stunning lecture show Wild Vision.
