Nice Hat!!!

I'm loving the hat/beanie/whatever else you might call it under your helmet. Where did you get it?

Re: Nice Hat!!!

Thanks. I picked it up cheaply at a market in Cuzco, Perú. I believe it is alpaca.

Re: Nice Hat!!!

Upon first glance, I thought it looked surprisingly like one that I picked up in Lima after a trip to the north coast. It has served me well!

Re: Nice Hat!!!

Good eye.



Where on the north coast? Any climbing?

Trujillo, Chiclayo, Piura, and Cajamarca. No climbing that was mentionable, although I did explore Cajamarca a little.

AWESOME

I love this photo. It actually does justice to the North Face Couloir. None of my photos made it look as steep as it seemed when I was on it. 40 degrees is steeper than you would think. Great shot, and how were the snow conditions then?
