Pequeño Alpamayo Climb, Bolivia

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Another climber took this great shot of our guide, Tom, and I heading up Pequeño Alpamayo. I enjoy the photo because it gives you a good sense of the scale of the peak.

Did anyone spot the climbers on the face?

	Hasn't voted	Thanks! Yeah they were an Argentinian team that were moving so slow we thought we were going to have to go out for a rescue. They must have started 2 hours before us. When we passed them on the glacier (heading up) they looked like they were ready to turn around. I couldn't believe they did the face. We got back to camp around 3:00 and must have waited 3 hours before seeing them coming down. It is certainly an awesome route. Check out this video of an amazing Bolivian Guide soloing the face http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs-zILN7bwY
