Artesonraju: The Teams Arrive in Base Camp

August 4, 2016

Posted by: Elias de Andres Martos, Eric Frank

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Peru Seminar

Elevation: 13,650'

And we are at Base Camp! The second day of the approach was incredible, as the scenery went from beautiful to dramatic... The climb up to Punta Union pass at 4750m greeted us with the views of Taulliraju, one of the most radical peaks in the range, with a sheer west face that made our jaws drop just thinking of how could it be even possible to climb. On the other side, Artesonraju, our objective reigned over the valley with its top amongst the clouds. Now it is time to spend some time acclimating, all while enjoying the comforts and gourmet food of camp. Best regards, RMI Guide Elías de Andres Martos and team P.S. Rich wishes happy B-day to his wife Christina.
