howie...

...mate you really know how to make me jealous. The Cordillera Blanca is amazing - can't wait to get to the Andes this December, although think we're going central Chile/Argentina... G

Re: Nice Tent!

Hey Graham - good to hear from you! It was a pretty spectacular night, no doubt. We unfortunately won't be heading back to Peru again this summer - we're taking a year off - but we are heading to the Dolomites which I'm super excited about. How about you - are you going back this summer?
Cheers,
Howie

Fond memories

I loved that climb. Looking at the route from high camp was a bit intimidating. Awesome climb though. I was happy to be near the summit when it was light enough to see.

Excellent light

Wonderful cold light! The shadow on the wall is fantastic, with excellent contrast.
Amazing atmosphere!
