geordie Posted May 30, 2004 Posted May 30, 2004 Just got back from 6 weeks down south. Thanks to Jason and others for the beta and crackbolter for the down pants. Week 1 - Isla del Sol - various team members deal with altitude in various ways. vomiting remains popular. Week 2 - "easy" peaks in the cord. occidental. I start puking on a regular basis. Mostly we get shut down. week 3 - sajama. I feel like crap and stay at camp. My teammates bail after wind destroys tent. Week 4+5 - Cord. Real Finally some acclimitization and success. Peq. Alpamayo, Piramide Blanca (SW Face/ridge), Ala Derecha (gully 3), Cabeza de Condor. Other party members climbed the direct route on Illusion. we found there was less snow than we expected, but glaciers were in good shape. routes took much longer than the Brain book suggested. more to follow, pics too..
