15th - 19th Oct - Arequipa, Peru

We stayed in a really nice place for really cheap here and had a couple of days of doing nothing until we booked up to do a mountain called Chachani which was 6075m high.

You start the walk at something like 3500m so even in the car on the way there I started feeling the altitude. When we started walking I was really breathless and my head was killing.

Alex was fine and was excited about his first summit over 6000m. The next morning after no sleep I decided I didnt feel any better and was not going any higher because the altitude would be worse so I stayed in the tent while Alex did a 10hr round trip to the summit!







Alex's lonely summit!
