IMG Huayhuash Team at Laguna Churup
IMG leader Tyler Nachand reports that the team had a second acclimatization day with perfect weather. After a delicious breakfast at the hotel in Huaraz the team set off for a hike up to Laguna Churup. Following the climbers’ adage “climb high, sleep low” they hiked up to 14,750 feet (4500m) with stunning views of the lake and only a handful of other hikers, before descending back to Huaraz. Now the team are doing their final packing for the beginning of the Huayhuash Trek tomorrow.
