Alpamayo: Elias & Team Hike Before Some R&R at Base Camp
Good evening once again from Alpamayo Base Camp. All is well here. After a rest day, we're all eager to start moving uphill for good. We spent the day with a short hike to Arhuaycoccha, a beautiful turquoise lake hanging 15 minutes above BC, and underneath the Pucajirca Group, just at 4,420m. We followed with a review of anchor transitions, and lunch and a nap took care of the afternoon... Being well rested is key for the demanding pitches ahead. We just had dinner, and the funny note was the competition trying to cheat the pulse ox meter (not much room to do so when all these four individuals are as fit as one can be).
That's all for now, tomorrow we'll be checking in from Moraine Camp on our move upwards.
Regards, RMI Guide Elías de Andres Martos and tea
