Megumi living out one of her dreams! Ice-climbing her way (using crampons and pickaxes) to the top of Huayana Potosi – a mountain 6088m high, located just outside La Paz in Bolivia. I quite happily sat this one out – but she is pictured here at the summit, with one her few remaining companions – only 3 out 7 made it.

Unfortunately I’m a blodder and will likely never be capable of the feats of Mr. Bakwin and his climbing pals. Gannett in a day from Green River Lakes via Wells Creek, Keiners in a few hours while product testing and taking pics, and your South Park/Mosquito traverse, absolutely freaking awesome! Just part of what I love about CO, guys like you out there showing us what is possible and keeping me inspired to push my sorry butt a little harder.Did the Emmons/Winthrop on Rainier years ago, couple of locals cruised up the hill in a few hours in low tops and aluminum crampons. Think that was late June and the snow had softened up a little by late morning.If the crampons are a real good price go for it, but as others had said, be careful to avoid the rocks and take extra caution on hard or steep ice.
oh~,great! congratulations!!!I guess It’s easy for you 2:)
