The food is amazing. Alfredo has been feeding us 3 hots a day plus afternoon cappuccino. Breakfasts have included omletes with sausage, eggs with potatoes, and pancakes. Each day there’s coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. Lunch always consists of a soup (today was cream of pumpkin), rice and a main dish of traditional Peruvian food. Today was beef with potatoes, yams, and some other squash. Dessert is usually canned fruit, although last night was pudding. Dinners are similar to lunch, just with larger portions. Tomorrow, Alfredo will be bringing up dinner to moraine camp.

Getting naranjas ready for Jugo de naranja


Today was a rest day. We spent many hours on basic systems, how we’re going to climb together and rescue systems. I called Janene which was awesome. It might be the last call for a few days.
