My next adventure is planned! The mountain is Illimani near La Paz, Bolivia.
21,122 Feet, in the Cordilla Range (a branch of the Andes). For several months my party has been training and researching - we have opted to use a reputable guide service. Our tripped is planned for the first week in July (assuming I am done with chemo and ready to roll by then).
Does anyone in the Bogley family have experience in the Andes? Is there any chance anyone on our forum has been up Illimani? If you do/have, please comment below or send me a private message. I'd love to hear more first hand experiences with the Andes.
I'm looking for broad advice on acclimating, gear, etc.
Thanks friends!
