The summit ridge of Huayna Potosi. (Greg Vernovage)
IMG Senior Guide Luke Reilly called in from High Camp on Huayna Potosi after a successful climb to the summit! Some snow fell overnight but as the sun came up the clouds dissipated giving the team great climbing conditions. He mentioned that the climbing on the summit ridge was especially spectacular. Once on top they soaked in amazing views Illimani and other surrounding peaks.
Luke’s plan was to rest up for a couple hours at High Camp before moving on down to Base Camp this afternoon. Tomorrow they’ll load up and should be back in La Paz for lunch!
