From Richard:

” Here are some pics from our last 3rd part in Bolivia. This time illimani did not allow us to get to the summit. Weather has got very wintery here all the sudden.

White out with high winds, snow, hail, rain, & thunder storms are some of the reasons to turn around from high camp to basecamp.

Everyone is safe & sound & happy to have the experience, but happier to be back in La Paz as well since a great storm hit the area big time today & night.

Today Sunday is my last day in La Paz and I’ll be cleaning & preping gear for next year season. I’ll be flying back home on Monday early morning.

Thank you very much to everyone for following our adventures around this beatiful country big in contrast that is Bolivia while making new friends & climbing mountains.

Until next time.

Over & out.”
