Bolivia Expedition: Frank & Team Check in from Huayna Potosi
May 29, 2017
Hello, this is Eric Frank calling from the Casa De Guilles here on Huayna Potosi in Bolivia. The last couple days have been pretty interesting, yesterday a fair amount of snow fell on Huayna Potosi and we weren't really sure what we would find this morning. When we woke up the weather was good and we were able to climb up to the high Refugio in fairly comfortable conditions. Once again things changed, and it started dumping a bunch of snow so we spent most of the afternoon watching the flakes fall and clearing off the roof of our little shelter. We are just getting tucked into bed now, hopefully things will turn around in the morning. There's a fair amount of snow on route so wish us luck, we're going to make conservative decisions and see how far we can go.
Thanks for following along.

Hey Paul - As long as the snow is not past your neck you can make it. Remember how we used to live and hope for the snow. Here you go.
Hopefully the post holing is not a hindrance
Stay strong and stay safe.
