Elevation: 8,630'

Hey everybody, this is Eric Frank calling from the summit of Forbidden Peak. It's a few minutes after noon here, and we finally managed to get above the wildfire smoke. So we've just popped up above it and its nice cIean air here. We had a great climb this morning. We left from Camp around 5:30, and here we are on top two and a half hours later. We're going to enjoy a few more moments, and then get packed up to head down. We will call to check in later today and let you know that we're safely back in Camp. Thanks. RMI Guide Eric Frank

Bolivia Expedition: Frank and Team Spend One Last Day in La Paz

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Bolivia

Elevation: 11,942'

Friday, June 8, 2018 - 1:00 PM PT Hard rain overnight added to our adventure this morning as we loaded up in our land cruisers and navigated the Bolivian country side. At one point a bridge had washed out and we were forced to navigate a river bed. Much like scouting a rapid on a river, we were forced to send scouts with radios ahead to find our way. But don’t worry we’re all safely in La Paz enjoying the comforts of a shower, internet and even street side shoe cleaners to clean off our dirty shoes. We’ll enjoy one last group dinner tonight with the whole group. This trip would not have been possible without the help our amazing Bolivian staff. They’ve become like family to us and it’ll be our honor to treat them tonight for one final celebration! RMI Guide Andy Bond

Bolivia Expedition: Frank & Team Descend from High Camp, Enjoy the Views

Posted by: ,

Elevation: 8,000'

Thursday, June 7, 2018 - 2:21 PM PT We awoke to a little bit of new snow at Illimani Base Camp, which further reinforced our decision to make our high point yesterday. We quickly packed our gear and headed out to our land cruisers in which an adventure ensued. Driving around the high country side we enjoyed splendid views as well as picking up dinner from road side vegetable farmers. Ultimately we find ourselves camping at a low elevation of 8000’ on the side of river at a retired police officers house. Surrounded by tropical fruit trees we’re looking forward to having a fire, sipping on some beers and reminiscing about the last two weeks! RMI Guide Eric Frank

Bolivia Expedition: Frank & Team Turn at 17,400’ on Illimani

Posted by: ,

Elevation: 17,400'

Hello there. It's Eric Frank calling in from Bolivia. It's about 1:30 in the afternoon (BOT Time) and I'm at 17,400ft here on Illimani. Unfortunately, we decided this will be our high point for the climb. It's a combination of recent storm snow, and the forecast, which has made us decide to head down hill. So at this point we're going to move back to our base camp and spend our last night in the mountains. Tomorrow we will pack up, head back to La Paz, and in two short days, be back at the airport. We look forward to seeing all of you soon. Bye. RMI Guide Eric Frank

Bolivia: Frank & Team Resting in La Paz

Like all good mountaineers, it’s okay to be lazy. Two summits in three days, our group enjoyed a much deserved rest day in La Paz. We shopped, we ate and we slept as we get ready for our third and final peak Illimani. The rest day also came at great time, as it was a rainy day in La Paz bringing a fresh coat of snow to the mountains. We’ll enjoy a nice dinner tonight before heading back into the mountains tomorrow! RMI Guide Andy Bond
