The Team
Not really tough at all for our Bolivia team — we are acclimatizing great at Lake Titicaca and our climb of Sun Island could not have been a sweeter day. Â A nice ferry ride and great acclimatization hike filled with views and laughter. Â On top, we looked to the south and saw our next destinations of Pequeno Alpamayo, Huayna Potosi.
The mountains are reported to be in excellent climbing conditions. Like I say on Everest, when the team starts to look at me with the stare of NEEDING to climb now, well, that is when I know they are feeling healthy, acclimatized and ready to go.
Off we go tomorrow, for two mountains in seven days (then back to La Paz before going to Illimani).
