Huayana Potosi Day 3

Julio was mine and Aseel’s guide, for the day. We woke up at 11 after maybe an hour and a bit of sleep (woke up in the night with a bad stomach that would haunt me for day to come) walked with all our gear to the glacier where we put on crampons and attacked the mountain at 1230. I felt terrible tho and not sure if it was food poisoning or altitude sickness but through the whole climb I lost a lot of energy (and liquid). Thought about quitting a LOT, we got the to pass at 5700 which was the point of no return and I went for it. We made it up after so so so many stops from falling over from exhaustion at about 630am. Could barely enjoy the top before we had to rush down which felt even more painful but can’t believe I managed it. 6,000m peak ticked off and probably never doing again. Somehow word got around that I was struggling with illness and all the guides started referring and knew me as William Wallace which was kinda funny and cool.Read more
