Cordillera Blanca: video

My wife and I recently traveled Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador for 4 months. Five weeks of this time was spent climbing in the Cordillera Blanca in the Peruvian Andes. We climbed Ishinca, Shaqsha (West Face), Ranrapalca (North Face). We were blown of Tocllaraju on our one-year anniversary, and stormed off of Yannapacha, as well. Friends Matt Ellis and Kelsey McFarland joined us for two weeks and we climbed Vallunaraju, Pisco, and Chopicalqui (normal route) with them.

Overall it was a very successful trip!! We also climbed in Bolivia and Ecuador.

Because pictures and videos are often more valuable than words, I recently posted a 20-minute video (it took me 9 months to produce, especially acquiring proper music rights) of our climbs in the Cordillera Blanca. It was an amazing adventure.
