Tears of the Donkey reaches Chachacomani High Camp!

Team Illegal Llama Takes a Rest Day and Turns into Team Tears of the Donkey
The team took a rest day in Condoriri following our successful summit of Pequeño Alpamayo. And, as evidence that this crew shouldn’t be left with too much time on our hands, we reached a unanimous decision to change our team name to Team Tears of the Donkey. It seems that our llama obsession has now evolved into a donkey infatuation.
We are spending the night in La Paz and heading out to the Chachacomani valley tomorrow. Meanwhile, enjoy a few photos from the Condoriri valley!
Ah, and please note that none of the donkeys we saw in Condoriri were crying and all were affectionately fussed over…
Saludos!

Team Illegal Llama Summits Pequeño Alpamayo!
Hi. This is Rachel calling from Bolivia, with an update from Team Illegal Llama. I wanted to let you all know that we made the summit of Pequeno Alpamayo today with the entire team. So the whole team of climbers and whole team of guides. We lucked out with beautiful weather. So calm conditions, Clear skies, and just enough clouds there to make the photos look spectacular. So, we had a really good day up there. Had such a good time. We’ve come back down and had pizza for dinner to celebrate. And now we’re going to get a well-deserved a night of rest. We will have a rest day tomorrow and we will give you a call then.
Team Illegal Llama reviews glacier skills in prep for Pequeño Alpamayo
The expedition was great. Very well organized. I would highly recommend this climb to anyone wanting to gain experience and take the next step to climbing over 6000 meters. Jose Luis is absolutely the best.
