Our team had a couple good training days at Cordoriri Base Camp, including reaching the summit of Pico Austria, at over 17,000 ft. This is a nice training hike and has some spectacular views of the nearby peaks of the Condoriri Real.

After investing the time and effort into getting well acclimatized, tomorrow the team heads up the valley to tackle their first technical peak, Pequeño Alpamayo, at the head of the valley.

After that, they will be heading to Huayna Potosi. Time to go climbing!
