American Alpine Institute Bolivia Trip: Part 3 Illimani
Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at 11:34AM I am back in the not so sunny Pacific Northwest. While on many hours of flights yesterday I sorted through hundreds of photos from the Bolivia trip. Not only did I sort the ones from the part 3 but I went back and added photos from part 1 and 2 so be sure to go back through the previous 2 blog posts to see some new photos.
The last few days of Part 2 consist of a summit of Huayna Potosi. I got a nice photo of it, but unfortunately did not climb it due to the flu. 
Kids when we got off the bus at the base of Illimani.
One of our porters and a horse.

Some porters coming down from high camp. 
This lady kind of makes me ashamed to not be carrying my own stuff up to high camp. 
Diccon making the last few steps to the summit. 
On the summit. Diccon giving the universal "I feel great" sign. 
Summit shot.

This guy greeted us back to camp. This photo does no justice to how big these birds are. 
Leaving La Paz. The houses of the Altiplano catching early morning light.

See you next year Bolivia.
