Out Climbing Huayna Potosi

No amazing news today as I’m out on the trail… up to Huayna Potosi in Bolivia. At 20000 feet it will certainly be a dizzying experience!

I’m working on acclimatising myself and seeing what training I need to hit some more technical peaks in the Bolivian Cordillera Real. Huayna Potosi isn’t particularly technical, but the altitude makes it challenging.

The majority of people do the trip in 3 days with a bit of training on the glacier, but for time I’ll be trying it in 2.

I’ll be trying out some gear too, so expect some reports when I get back.

If you want to see the progress, you can check in at my Find Me Spot page where you can see all my check in points. If things go well, I’ll make it to the summit at sunrise on Tuesday morning!

Update: Need I say more?
