Peru Seminar: Blais & Team Move to Ishinca Basecamp

August 9, 2016

Posted by: Zeb Blais, Chase Nelson

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Peru Seminar

Elevation: 14,400'

Ahh how nice it is to finally be settled into a camp in the mountains. The lowlands have treated us well but this is what we came here for! This morning we boarded a bus and said goodbye to Huaraz and began our hike into the Ishinca Valley. Mule assistance kept our packs light and views of the Cordillera Blanca inspired our trek all the way to basecamp. We built camp in a grassy meadow at 14,300 ft. flanked by our climbing objectives for the coming days. We're enjoying a bit of relaxation and adjusting to our new altitude at camp, before the real training starts tomorrow! RMI Guides Zeb Blais and Chase Nelson
