I gotta admit, not only do I congratulations you on this great success, but as you said putting this trip report looks like a big piece of work. Many would have either shorted the story or gotten to busy to deal with it. Thanks for sharing it all in one piece here on SP. This is one of my great goals for the future, after all South America holds a lot of wonders. In the future now that I am 18 I would love to travel to some of the cool places you go to if your willing. Anyways well done!!
Thanks Josh! It took such a long time to finish this one. By the time I was done, I was really tired of the whole thing. I think you will like South America. There are so many good looking peaks in the Andes. A person could spend there whole life there climbing and be happy. I'd always be happy to have you along on any climb, so I hope we can travel together in the future.
You did a fantastic job, not only with the success of your trip but also your ability to describe the adventures so well on SP. Congratulations on your achievements!!!
It's nice to see this all in one complete report. As mentioned before, you create a vivid narrative by mixing in your internal thought process with the situation as you cilmb the mtn. It's a great read and it sounds like the trip of a lifetime. I'd vote for it twice if I could.
Thanks Eric. I know the detailed aspect is not for everyone. It's takes an unusual attention span to read the longer trip reports but I'm really glad you liked it.
I tend to enjoy lesser developed countries more and for that reason, Bolivia was my favorite country of this trip. I hope you get the opportunity to go there.
A fascinating, breathtaking trip report that you created in such a way that one really lives it together with you while reading and viewing your amazing pictures and excellent videos! A fantastic contribution - thanks so much for all the work you did and for sharing your great adventure with us!
Many cheers,
Eric
Eric, I appreciate your kind words. When I sat down to write this, I had no idea what a big project it would turn into. I'm really happy that it's finished now and people get to enjoy memories of the trip along with me.
