Peru Seminar: Elias & Team Summit Tocllaraju!

Hello this is the Peru climbing team. Elias speaking, Robby next to me, and the climbers are taking a break at 5,000 meters. We were supposed to have called from the summit, but heavy winds and trying to get down delayed the phone call. But we have finished our last rappel. It was a pretty interesting one- a free-hanging rappel over bergschrund. We are taking a break just to anticipate the remaining ground, which is a pretty easy travel to Camp 1, from where we will be picking up our gear and heading out to base camp. We are pretty excited about that, but we still have a couple hours to go on the glacier. We just wanted to let you know everything went well with the last of our climbs, the most challenging one, Tocllaraju, 6,023 meters. We rocked it; we are pretty tired but psyched. The route has been as challenging as any of the two guys that are here who have climbed it, have ever seen it. We are happy with the work done. We will let you know more when we can post tomorrow when we arrive in Huaraz, where we can post some pictures. Thank you for all of the support to all of you who have been following our blog. The next post will be from Huaraz tomorrow. That's it for now, 2 pm on Thursday. Tocllaraju! The Peru Seminar will be over soon. RMI Guide Elias de Andres Martos

Congrats to the whole team and especially Lucy and Corell.  So glad the weather finally cooperated and you all were able to summit that last peak.  Stay safe and look forward to hearing all about it when you are home!

Kimmer!!! Congrats to you and the team- sounds like a challenging last climb- but you did it!! Not sure what bergschrund might be- but I am sure you totally mastered it :)!! Sophia is honoring your climb by making you a cross stitched flamingo and I am sure Dad has called Leland Riggins to make a cake with you rapelling from the side. Way to go xoxox. LORA
