Well, we’re back in La Paz after enjoying four beautiful days in the Condoriri region. At the trailhead in Tuni, we decided to rent some extra mules… yes, we are LAZY!! and as a result, the three of us enjoyed a most excellent packless hike into base camp. Unfortunately, we headed into the area without everyone being fully acclimatized… thus no major technical climbing took place. However, we did slog to the top of a mountain called Austria, which got us to 5350 metres. The day was stellar and the views were amazing – we spent 2 hours at the summit, gazing out over most of the peaks in the west end of the Cordillera Real, plus we could even see Lake Titicaca. The best part about this mini-adventure was the truly great people we met. Safe travels and happy times are wished upon: The Quebec-ers - Mathieu, Reggie and Leo; the newlywed architects Sara and James; and the brave Esther from Switzerland. Hopefully we’ll see them all again sometime!
