Huayna Potosi glacier from high camp (Luke Reilly)
The weather has cleared up completely for Andy and the team in Bolivia. They had a great hike to High Camp today and are set for a summit bid tonight on Huayna Potosi.
They had an early dinner at the High Camp Refugio and are getting ready to take a nap before their 2:00 am wake up. It is all tolerable with the new Refugio at High Camp!
Up early and walking, it will be cool for the first few hours with El Alto lights keeping the team company over their left shoulder. By the time the sun comes up, the team will be above the bergschrund and looking east to the jungle.
The morning will be topped off by a gorgeous summit ridge with Lake Titicaca in the distance. Have a great climb tonight!
