We’re grateful to have had a safe and successful We’re grateful to have had a safe and successful climb of Illimani, the tallest mountain in Bolivia’s Cordillera Real. 🇧🇴⛰️🙏 The mountain has four summits over 6000 meters, the highest of them, Pico Sur, measures in at 21,100 feet. 😳 We knew it would be a long, hard day (starting at 1am!)- the steep climbing route was as much ice as it was snow, which wasn’t easy. ⛏️ And the west-facing nature of the route meant we would be out of the warmth of the sun much later than normal sunrise. 🥶🥶🥶 Despite the conditions and shivering temps, we made the summit of Pico Sur in pretty good time, but we were so cold we only had a few minutes to take it all in before deciding it begin our descent, to warmer, lower elevations, ultimately making it all the way back to La Paz and our hotel 🏨 that night! Thank you Illimani and @boliviadiscovery for helping make it all happen. #1 On the 21,100 foot summit of Illimani’s South Summit ⛰️ #2 Basecamp in the valley below at 14k ⛺️ #3 @aspenchristy hiking up to high camp #4 High Camp - El Nido del Condor “The Condor’s Nest” @ 18,000 feet ⛺️ #5 A panorama view of Illimani #6 Illimani as seen from La Paz #bolivia #mountainclimbing #cordillerareal #andes @boliviadiscovery #6000meters @bolivianmountainguides @stio #lettheoutsidein

From here we moved on to Pequeño Alpamayo, 17,618 ft. out in the distance. It was an incredible day- the challenge of late-season snow conditions and a long day mixed with the awe and amazement of being in an area of impressive mountains for the first time. 🇧🇴⛰️🇧🇴⛰️🇧🇴⛰️ After four days and four new summits, including the 6000m Huayna Potosi (19,975 ft.), we’re taking a break for a few days to see Lake Titicaca before heading out again to some more new mountains, and maybe even go higher. #bolivia #mountainclimbing @boliviadiscovery @aspenchristy @bolivianmountainguides #cordillerareal @stio #lettheoutsidein

We camped at the lake below ⛺️ and also climbed nearby V8 and Beattie Peak, making for an awesome Labor Day Weekend outing. 🥾 So grateful to have these amazing places to visit!🙏 #sanjuanmountains #backpacking #colorado #peakbagging #alwaysgo #lettheoutsidein @stio

What an unusual day up on Challenger Point and Kit What an unusual day up on Challenger Point and Kit Carson— we woke up to low clouds, lots of wind, cold temps ⛰️☁️💨 as we got higher, it only seemed to get worse. From the summit of Challenger, Kit Carson and the Crestones were completely obscured by lenticular-style clouds and the associated ripping winds (turn up volume). But as luck would have it, as we were debating our plans, the weather broke, the winds abated, the sun came out, and @aspenchristy and I ended up with a beautiful Kit Carson summit. 🌞Sometimes the early bird doesn’t get the worm! 🐛 And it always pays to just go and see, you never know what might happen #alwaysgo 😃 #14ers #peakbagging #colorado #sangredecristomountains #lettheoutsidein @stio

And a love affair with the Andes is born… Thank And a love affair with the Andes is born… Thank you Illimani (6442m/21,122 ft) for letting us grace your enormous massif and make it to the summit. The entire journey was so wild and such a hard push but feeling so grateful to have experienced this place. Every year Illimani’s glacier shrinks due to climate change making the ascent more challenging. We were lucky to be able to cross the crevasses this late in the season. Like all the mountains here, the peak and its energy felt so special. Seen from everywhere in the city, Illimani is considered to be the guardian spirit of La Paz and a deep part of the Aymara culture. Made even more memorable with a pair of Andean Condors soaring around us 🙏💛✨🇧🇴🏔️#cordillerareal #theshiningone #PachaMama #mothernature #mountainexperience #lettheoutsidein @stio @tedmahon @boliviadiscovery @bolivianmountainguides
Welcome to the Isla del Sol ✨The perfect place t Welcome to the Isla del Sol ✨The perfect place to rest, recover, and soak up all the strong ☀️ energy for our next mountain climb. Located in Lake Titicaca near La Paz, the island is a sacred site believed to be where Inca civilization began and the birth place of the Sun God, Inti. Koa tea for tummies, a beautiful sunset, and island hiking proved to be just what we needed for the next adventure. Even saw an endangered Lake Titicaca Grebe 👀 #laketiticaca #copacabana #isladelsolbolivia #alwaysbirding #highaltituderecovery #incaruins #incagardens #tiwanaku #kantuta
Wow, the beauty of these Bolivian peaks in the Con Wow, the beauty of these Bolivian peaks in the Condoriri area combined with a deep connection to ancient Andean cultures is incredible! A few shots of the summit of Huayna Potosí (6,088 m) after meeting local friends and climbing to the summit of Pequeño Alpamayo (5370 m) at sunrise ✨🏔️ ☀️ Like so many mountain ranges around the world, the Condoriri’s glaciers are receding, and the lack of snow is making these peaks much more technical. Now more mixed ice and rock, not as much snow. We didn’t get to climb the Cabeza de Condor but we were able to see an Andean Condor and some Chilean Flamingos 🦩 who were our spirit animals for the climbs! The adventure continues…#bolivia🇧🇴 #andesmountains #cordillerareal #alwaysbebirding #lettheoutsidein @boliviadiscovery @bolivianmountainguides @tedmahon @stio
