The Bolivian Bull Fighters Take a Rest Day at Condoriri

 

Hi this is Rachel with an update from the Bolivian Bull Fighters. We are still camped in our base camp at Condoriri. Today we took a hike up to the base of the glacier that we will climb tomorrow and we did some practice discussion of the colors of the season(?) all the different pieces of equipment and practice rope travel, self arrest, a whole bunch of different skills and we came back and had a delicious meal made by our whole team of cooks here, potatoes and broccoli and cauliflower and some really really delicious steaks so we’re all doing well here in and pretty well fed. And we are going to take a rest day tomorrow, we’ll have the entire day to just kinda sort-out our equipment and let our legs rest up after so much activity, do some strolls around the lake,  ydrate and get ourselves ready for our summit night, basically the night of our rest day so we’ll be hanging out in camp tomorrow Buenos Noches.
