From North to South

Amy's ramblings. Once upon a time these ramblings pertained to my 5 months in Guatemala and Honduras. Then they followed the ebb and flow of my final semester in Alaska. From there things really went south ... to Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. After 8 months in the Andes, I fell back under Alaska's spell … working at a newspaper and wandering mountains. Now I'm somewhat south again ... in Jackson Hole, WY, teaching ski school on the clock and making fresh tracks off the clock.

Hiking in the Andes

I just got back from a fantastic, amazing and wonderful 6 day hut-to-hut hiking trip through the Andes... yes life is rough! The highlights included:

1) A roped ascent of a fairly steep snow field intermixed with crampon rock scrambling... talk about family initiatives.

2) New Years Eve at Frey Hut... a world class rock climbing destination. The party was fun, the people were dynamic and the views were unparalleled.

3) Standing on the peak of Navidad with views of Tronador and Volcan Lanin.

4) Skiing off the peak of Navidad... we made some sweet turns on our skis... I mean hiking boots... or in my case tennis shoes.

5) Hanging out a Jakob hut... by far the least crowded, best run and friendliest stop on our trip.

6) Standing on top of Cerro Catedral Sur surrounded by rock spires.


PHOTOS COMING SOON!
