November 11, 2010 After acclimatizing at “sea level” (Lake Titicaca = 13,400 ft/4100m) I headed to one of the main goals of the trip, Huayna Potosi (19,974 ft/6088m). It is a great looking mountain! I arrived at Base Camp and set up in the refugio for the night. A great dinner and good night sleep, […]
November 11, 2010 La cumbre!! Just as we knew, the team summited yesterday morning early. Everyone who went to high camp went to the summit. Pretty sweet. Speaking of sweet, the showers much have been, too. A quick hotel night in Puebla was well earned, but today it’s off to the town of Tlachichuca and […]
