An update from Bolivia. We wrapped up the regular season in great form. Our teams were challenged and reached many objectives. With Cho Oyu not quite working out for us this year, we were left with an issue. Mike Hamill would be around for an extended period of time. We can keep Mike busy on Mount Rainier for a while but need to send him higher altitude in time and continue to meet some great people.

Mike topped out on Pequeno Alpamayo yesterday and is waiting out a small storm, back in La Paz. Tomorrow, the plan is to head over to Huayna Potosi.
“There is some great climbing here in Bolivia. The altiplano and its people remind me a lot of Tibet.â€
We are still climbing in Bolivia!
