\"Col<\/a>
Col Camp on Alpamayo 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hopefully we go for the summit of Alpamayo tomorrow, weather dependent. But it looks good.<\/p>\n

Today was spectacular climbing to the Col Camp at 18, <\/a> 000′. We climbed in two rope teams of three navigating glacier crevasses and the final 60 degree pitch before descending to the Col proper.<\/p>\n

It was mostly cloudy all day keeping the temperatures agreeable but blocking the views. Thanks to my Colorado 14er work the past few months, <\/a> even my 45lb pack was OK. The views continue to amaze. I think I have some of the mountains\/climbing shots ever.<\/p>\n

I’m still having sat connection problems so will have to wait until I get home to upload them. I did try to upload one from our camp i just took. I had to shrink it so the quality will suffer.<\/p>\n

Also, I apologize for the duplicate notification and posts. I thought the system I used had fixed this.<\/p>\n

OK perhaps a voice update tomorrow after the summit.<\/p>\n

Climb On!
