IMG Senior Guide Harry Hamlin just called from Base Camp on Illimani after some great climbing to the summit of Illimani (21,200’). Harry said the weather was perfect and the team did very well this morning. It is always great to hear that the Bolivia Team went 3 for 3 during the trip and even better news when we hear the team is now all back to Base Camp safe and sound. The team will celebrate and sleep the rest of the afternoon and evening before heading to the trailhead in the morning. Our staff in Bolivia always does a great job putting a little extra into the climb of Illimani by having a barbecue ready for when the team gets down.
