Andes trip summer 2007
Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2006 6:45 pm
Hallo everybody!
I plan on travelling through the central Andes in summer 2007 (may-august) together with a friend, after finishing university. We plan on climbing peaks in cordillera real and cordillera blanca. Everything possible, except pure, steep ice climbing (70% plus). We both speak Spanish and travelled to SA before (I lived in Arequipa/Peru for 9 month in 2003). Experience is f.e. trekking around cerro torre/fitz roy on the hielo continental, andean peaks like Vallunaraju, Huayna Potosi, Chachani, Coropuna (plus climbing in the alps).
We have our eyes set on mountains like Ancohuma, Pequeno Alpamayo, Illimani, Tocclaraju, Artesonraju, Huascaran,...but open for everything. If anyone has put up similar plans we perhaps could enlarge the team (should meet before to get to know each other, in the alpes?).
Not to forget: We are not only interested in sports, but also like to drink a beer with local mates, from time to time.
cheers!
Flo.
