In March 2017, another Irish team headed to South America and investigated a number of peaks before settling on Ojos del Salado. Male members of the team managed to scramble above 6000m on their KTM 350 Freerides. The lady of the group, Mide Maher, also rode a KTM 350 Freeride from Rifugio Murray near the Copiapo - Fiambala highway up to a new benchmark of 5915 metres, just pipping Sherri Jo's 5903m effort with the Husaberg Adventure Team in 2012.
