Greetings from Bolivia!
It has been a terrific trip so far. Five climbers and I (and our wonderful Bolivian guides and staff) have been having a great time seeing the mountains of this amazing country. This post will be admittedly brief, as we only have one day in town before heading out tomorrow to Illimani – one of the tallest peaks in the country!
Things that have been great so far include:
- The food!
- The weather
- The company, both among the American climbing team, and among the Bolivians we have been privilidged to work with
- The climbing conditions – super good snow, great travel conditions, good cravasse conditions
- And many other things!
Enjoy these pictures I took from this last section (Part 2 of 3)
Me and my Bolivian friend Willie (and his mom to the side).
It has been a real treat making friend with people here.
I hope this blog entry finds you all well, and we´ll keep in touch as we get back from our last stint in the mountains this weekend!
