The long-awaited Huascaran hike!!

the long awaited for Huascaran hike- started at 430 AM!

We started at 430 AM!!! Chad, Scott, Linnea, Steph, myself, Chris and Eric all decided to take the challenge!!
Mushu (our start point is in the 8000 ft + range), base camp is @ 15,500 ft range…so we’ve got a huge hike ahead of us!

Breathtaking views as the sun rose and the majestic mountain came into view!!

Slippery rocks! Watch your step! Warning signs not to fall!?

More than halfway there! A little lightheaded at this point, but the mt is in view and motivation enough to keep going strong!

Base camp- celebrating and refueling with energy food!
