Peru Climbing Team Acclimates in the Peruvian White Range
Hello family and friends,
The team has arrived to the town of Huaraz (10,137 feet), located at the foot of the majestic White Range. Team members Amy, Sharon, John and Paul are doing well. They are impressed by the beauty of the Peruvian mountains. Yesterday, they visited the Wilcahuain pre-Inca ruins and admired the views from the Rataquenua lookout. Today they took an acclimatization hike to beautiful Churup lake (14,714 feet), enjoying clear blue skies.
Tomorrow they will review glacier skills on the Huarapasca glacier.
They send their best to family and friends.
More soon!
We hope you enjoy the attached pictures!

This trek clearly placed itself as one of the best I have ever participated in. The defined acclimatization program (hiking, climbing, altitude adjustment) adhered to a strict daily progression outline that was near perfect in meeting the continuous physical challenges that developed daily.
