\n\t\t\t\tLooking up the route from Nido de Condores (Greg Vernovage)\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nAndy and the Team just checked in from the Condor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Nest at 18,000\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.\u00c2\u00a0 This is not the easiest climb to High Camp.\u00c2\u00a0 The route out of Base Camp gets you into your groove and after a few switch backs, you find yourself having lunch at the base of the HC ridge.\u00c2\u00a0 Once on the ridge, you pay attention to your hand and foot placement.<\/p>\n
At Nido de Condores, you can see the route winding up the mountain and onto the final summit ridge.\u00c2\u00a0 Illimani (21,200\u00e2\u20ac\u2122) is real climbing!\u00c2\u00a0 The plan for the Team is to get moving at 2:30 am.\u00c2\u00a0 Andy and the Guide Team took a look at the lower end of the climb and report: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It will be fun.\u00c2\u00a0 We have enough gear and rope and will likely make a few decisions when we get on the steep sections.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 Andy was referring to the area known as the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153stairway to heaven\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, a long steep section that can either be pitched out or fixed.<\/p>\n
Sounds fun!<\/p>\n
