There was really only one reason I wanted to climb Copa and that was because there is a hot spring in Marcara, the access town. Oh yeah, one other reason was because it probably has the most beautiful ski descent in all of the Blanca, especially with ... Read more >

Chimborazo was great. It was pretty chilly but everything went well. I probably would have been better off with a blindfold on, atleast my face would have been warmer. I had to clear my goggles about every ten steps but it was a blast. My brain ... Read more >

Two days of crying at BC because of my repeated failed attempt on Tocllaraju, we headed to climb Ishinca. This being another extremely dificult "high altitude" mountain, we left early and took the slow and heavy approach as opposed to light ... Read more >

Nasty nasty chicken. Montezuma´s revenge, Delhi Belly, or the Andean Ache...after about five days of feeling a little rough my stomach came around and I headed to climb Pisco. It is a beautiful montain just outside of Yungay. Everything went really ... Read more >
