June 4, 2014 – Chris and Micheline Summit Pequeno Alpamayo!
Hello, this is Chris and I am calling from the summit of Pequenno Alpamayo at about 18,500 feet. I would like to express my gratitude for the people who have been supporting me in the “Climb for Paws”. A big thank you goes to Christina Creelman for her help with my webpage. A very big thank you to Dr. Brennan of pets without vets and the volunteers. Also Jane Paker-Rauw and Potcake Place and their volunteers for all of the great work they do.
Super job everybody.
Bye for now!
Listen to Chris's call
Hello, this is Osvaldo calling from the top of Pequeno Alpmayao. Micheline has arrived to the summit just 3 minutes ago and now the entire group is at the top of Pequeno Alpamayo. The weather is good, it is a bit windy up here but we’ve got very good conditions. These ladies are amazing! They are very strong and persistent. We are just now at the top enjoying the view and we are going to start going down in a couple of minutes. I will keep you posted when we get back from to Base Camp.
Bye!
