HIking to Illimani Base Camp (Adam Clark)
The first part of the Bolivia trip to the Condoriri area and Huayna Potosi has wrapped up, and some of the climbers are now heading for home. Well done, team! For the remaining climbers, after their hard work of getting well acclimatized and a couple rest days in La Paz, now it’s time to go take advantage of it and climb something higher, like 21,200’ Illimani! The goal for today is Base Camp, situated at about 15,750’ in a nice meadow at the base of the mountain. So far so good!
