Peru Seminar: Young & Team Summit Nevado Copa!

July 13, 2017

Posted by: Robby Young, Steve Gately

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Peru Seminar

Elevation: 20,300'

Greetings, loyal RMI blog fanatics. Your ESS-Peru just returned from the summit of Nevado Copa, which is about 20,300 feet high above sea level. Great climb and we had great weather. Just a little bit of cold wind up there, but nothing at all of our layers couldn't defend against. We're all back at high camp now at 12:45 in the afternoon, proud of our accomplishments and enjoying the sunshine here for just a little while before we make the casual escape back down to the lower elevations of our base camp and our cook staff. We will probably get out of here in an hour or so. We'll touch base tomorrow when we make our return to Urus and conclude this incredible two-week program that we had here in the Cordillera Blanca. Until then, talk to you soon. Bye. RMI Guide Robby Young
