From North to South: Volcan Lanin II

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.

Volcan Lanin II

An early morning start. We woke up at 2 a.m. and were on the trail... I mean snowfield... by 3 a.m.

Martin hiking the final pitch to the peak. I encountered Martin and Facu as I was coming down off the summit. I decided to resummit with them, so as to take some pictures and share the moment with these two great friends.
