Peru
Cordillera Blanca
June 9 - July 7 2007
Once I graduated, I decided to go climbing
in Peru for a month before I was going to start work.
The trip had been on my mind for the last couple of years, and the excitement grew
as the time got closer. I had mentioned my plans to my friends
Chester and Marta during the winter, and they
decided to accompany me on the journey. We were to fly to Lima, and make our way to
Huaraz and the mountains as fast as possible,
where we were planning to do a number of climbs before returning home. As things
happened, plans deviated quite a bit...
For the full details, check the trip report!
And here is some random beta on Peru.
The pictures are organized below, based on destination (not time). For
example, I kept coming back to Huaraz from the mountains to resupply and
rest, etc. so the pictures in that folder are from different weeks.
