Alpamayo 2012 Altitude Junkies Base Camp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We are now on our third day at the Alpamayo Base Camp after taking a day and a half to trek here through the mountain valleys.<\/p>\n

Short spindly trees cover the area but it is the amphitheater of fluted snow covered peaks that attracts the eye.<\/p>\n

Our small Altitude Junkies team is doing well except for me. I have been pretty much down with some kind of stomach bug which hit me the first night here. But today I feel 1000% better.<\/p>\n

We will move up to the Moraine Camp at 15, 500 tomorrow, mind<\/a> Saturday, then to the Col Camp the next day. We may climb a slightly easier climb before Alpamayo to get our ice legs.<\/p>\n

The mountain is not crowded at all with us beating the crowds by a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

I will send another update soon, but obtaining a satellite signal is difficult with the high surrounding walls.<\/p>\n

OK, so far so good. The Cordillera Blanca are just as beautiful as advertised!<\/p>\n

Climb On!
