Illimani
The queen of La Paz once again gave us the privilege of standing on her summit with Roberto Gomez Sainz and B**g Chidchanok R. Another amazing experience in the Bolivian Andes.

BOLIVIA:
So far so great! A week doing high altitude tourism to acclimatize in La Paz and Isla del Sol on Titikaka Lake. Then two beautiful peaks in the Condoriri Valley. Now a rest and off to magnificent Illimani. I love this country!

Spring mountain biking in Mendoza: The cactus flowers have exploded and the wet trails stick like 5.10 rubber. It doesn't get any better than this!

Hello ex-Aconcagua-ers!
It is that time of year when I start thinking of another season on the Sentinel of Stone. This time about to start season number 16! A lot of expeditions and many great folk. As I look back all the trips sort of melt into one huge expedition and a flood of memories come back.
I hope you are all doing well, still getting out to the "hills" and experiencing new adventures.
I send you all a warm hello from the land of Malbec....

Andean Crossings is off to Bolivia!
October 1st begins another adventure in this wonderful Andean country. The group of 7 will start with the 4-day Choro Trek that goes from the high Andean plains outside of La Paz at 4,000 meters above sea level to Coroico more than 2,000 meters lower at the entrance to the Yungas cloud forest. Then a flight to Uyuni for a 3 day tour of the famous salt flats, a climb to a beautiful view point on Thunupa Volcano and a night at a hotel made of salt. Finally, we end the tour with a climb of Mount Sajama, Bolivia's tallest mountain.
Bolivia is an undiscovered land of exotic culture and unforgetable landscapes that vary from the high andean plateau to the lush amazon river basin.
Can't wait to be there!

This was an amazing ride! A two hour 4x4 ride from Mendoza at 760m to 3,000m in the middle of the Precordillera Range. The view from this high point includes our cherished Aconcagua, the Western hemisphere's tallest mountain. The first two hours of the ride has short climbs and descents until the final tough climb from which you we dropped into what is known as Pampa de la Canota, a wide open plateau of yellow and green shrubs. The ride ends with and incredible hour and a half descent from the Pampa down to the Mendoza Valley where the 4x4 was waiting for us with ice, fernet and coke for a well deserved celebration. A world class ride right here in our backyard. Fun!

The best that northern Patagonia has to offer..

A challenging Friday ride with buddies Mauricio and Nicolas. A 12 hour traverse from the city of Mendoza across the Precordillera Range to the weekend town of Potrerillos mostly on single track. The dry river beds and long switchbacks at the end of the climb made it a tough day on the legs. But the incredible downhill on picturesque red rock made it all worth it.
Looking forward to the next adventure.....who's coming?

A great trip in an amazing part of the world. This was a 9 day trek that circumnavigates the Huayhuash mountain range in Peru several hours south of Huaraz and the Cordillera Blanca. This is definitely one of the world's great treks.
