Today the team had a nice climb of 17,618 ft Pequeño Alpamayo. The route to the summit starts with a glacier approach, then an ascent to the summit of 16,601 ft Tarija Peak. This is a great climb by itself and is the key to accessing Pequeño Alpamayo. Once over the top of Tarija, there is some steep snow and ice climbing to the summit.
