Today was a load haul to moraine camp, 4860 M (about 16200 ft). it took a couple hours to reach the site which is only about 1.5 miles away, but 2000 feet up. Uneventful hike, however, I`m now occasionally called El hombre antiguo de Alpamayo. On the pulse ox, I came in with strong numbers 83 O2 and 83 pulse. At base camp last night after dinner, my numbers were surprising, 92 O2 and pulse of 78, marked improvement over the numbers earlier in the day. When Adrian asked what we thought our numbers would be, I had joked “92”, he said, if your O2 is in the 90’s I’ll carry your pack. Pretty funny. Josh continues to be very strong. Lots of great stories being told. Rest day tomorrow, then the big push.
