evanmfreeman Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 i'm planning a trip to Peru and Bolivia this summer, and need partners. my goals are mostly technical routes with little focus on altitude, though i'll probably try to knock off a couple of 6000m peaks. i'm especially interested in spending some time in the Quimsa Cruz region of Bolivia. i'm currently located in telluride, co and plan to leave for this trip in june or early july, depending on the partner situation. i'm open to all sorts of people and ideas. evan freeman Quote
Sabertooth Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 That is right after the wet season. There will be a ton of snow, especially in the Cordillera Blanco. Be wary of avalanche danger. Have fun and good luck. Quote
ryland_moore Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 He lives in Telluride-Home of avalanches! I woulod still prefer to climb down there a little later, or earlier depending on how you look at it...... Quote
jdog Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 june and july is the best time of year to go down there. that is when we went down there and the weather was stellar. avalanche danger was not really an issue considering it was blue bird skies and sunny almost everyday. Quote
evanmfreeman Posted February 13, 2003 Author Posted February 13, 2003 thanks for the tips--i've researched the conditions, and it seems that june-aug are the prime times for good weather. i've not found much stuff about the avy danger there, but i imagine it's more of a maritime-type climate than the san juans. so--who wants to come with me???
