Today we got to Base Camp, a little tired; the journey here was very long. On the way we met Igor, a Basque who intends to travel around Peru for three months; but for now he has the same goal as us, this is the second time he is trying to reach it.

Our bodies are ready once again to face new slopes and long days. We are slowly getting used to the fact that we are in the final stage of the expedition. We are aware that all the efforts we have made up until now were in order to be ready and able to face our great goal more competently.

Today we had the break we deserved, after all our efforts over the past few days.

We are aware that this expedition is not over yet. Therefore this break is only a breather, an interruption in the project. We spent the day reorganising equipment and planning our tackle on the Alpamayo, our Ithaca, our dream, our aim.

We tried to find last minute information. Apparently, the mountain’s conditions are good.

We mention one of the comments on the Dynatech blog, to provide some information. http://blog.dynatech-elevation.com/2010/07/22/sin-tregua/comment-page-1/#comment-1754

Hi…excuse me…I’m writing because I’m really worried…I see that you keep your blog updated and I’d like to know whether you have some information about the mountaineer who had an accident on the Alpa
