August 24, 2015 Andy checked in from high camp on Illimani, Nido de Condor. This camp is up there and small! I love this climb. It is the icing on the cake for Bolivia. All of the acclimatization and different techniques that get used on the other mountains come together on this long two day […]
August 23, 2015 The Bolivia Team is on the road to Illimani Base Camp. This is a great drive on the back roads to the end of the road. When the team gets out to Illimani, they will hike for about two hours and set up Base Camp. This is an awesome camp at […]
August 21, 2015 The Bolivia Team has a well-deserved rest day tomorrow in La Paz. They had great climbs of Pequeno Alpamayo and Huayna Potosi. A hot shower, good dinner, and a little laundry will put them right where they want to be for Illimani. They have some good acclimatization after PA and Huayna so […]
August 20, 2015 Andy checked in with a happy team from Huayna Potosi. A beautiful day on Huayna Potosi with good snow conditions and clear skies. This is an awesome climb that takes all of the skills from Pequeno Alpamayo and adds a running belay section on the summit ridge. Exposure on either side and […]
August 19, 2015 The weather has cleared up completely for Andy and the team in Bolivia. They had a great hike to High Camp today and are set for a summit bid tonight on Huayna Potosi. They had an early dinner at the High Camp Refugio and are getting ready to take a nap before […]
August 18, 2015 Andy checked in from Huayna Potosi Base Camp. They are tucked into the Refugio for the night and all is well. Everything is looking great on the mountain and they are looking forward to getting a good night sleep. The Refugio on Huayna Potosi is one of the nicest I have stayed […]
August 17, 2015 A gorgeous day for climbing in Bolivia! The gang weathered a storm and had a great climb of Pequeno Alpamayo today. There was a little more snow on the route than normal but nothing the team couldn’t handle. This evening, the team will dine on fresh fish caught in the lake right […]
August 16, 2015 Andy and the team had a good training day on Pequeno Alpamayo. They are gearing up for their summit bid tomorrow. There is a little snow in the forecast so the team will be on their toes. These peaks are beautiful with a litte fresh snow on the ground. They will […]
August 15, 2015 Andy checked in this afternoon from the base camp of Pequeno Alpamayo.  He made sure to let us know that “all is well!”  They are doing some basic training today, and will continue with more technical training in the morning. As you can tell from the picture, it is not a bad place to train! […]
August 14, 2015 Andy checked in from Tambo Condoriri just now letting us know that the team had a great day hiking today. Overnight, they got a total of 9 inches of snow! With that amount of snow, the llama drivers decided that it would be best to hang tight for another day. So, the […]
