Alasdair Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hey Folks just back from Bolivia. My first time there. If you have not been its well worth a visit. Great climbing, great country. As far as logistics go... It is very easy to get from point a to b no matter where a or b are.

DPS Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks Alasdair. I recall Jason Martin saying it was his favorite country to guide in. Maybe if I ever get well enough I will plan a trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasdair Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Its my new favorite place to guide also. Not a good place to go sick. Never went below 11,000ft once on this trip. Being at that altitude for that long makes for a lot of feeling crappy, especially after having a few drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alasdair Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Nice. Let me know if you need any advice. What you planning to climb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Warmups on Pequeno Alpamayo and Pyramid Blanca. Nine day trip to Apalobamba - Chaupi Orco and Ascarani - maybe another. Then a week pack-in of rock at Quimsa Cruz Then a couple treks with mi esposa in the Apalobamba, week in the Amazon, then a few days back in La Paz. I've a friend living there. If I have any last minute questions I'll send a PM - thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfinley Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Wow -- amazing photos Alasdair!! And pretty cool to see a lady high altitude porter! My wife always complains about the lack of women she sees out climbing - I'll show her your photo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Piston Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Sweeeet pictures! I've been trying to talk my wife into letting me take an extended trip there for several years. Thanks for the stoke. I'm even more determined! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasdair Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Take your wife with you. I did and she absolutely loved it. Even if she does not climb she can enjoy the mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
