Bolivia Mountain School Dispatch

June 6, 2014 – A Photo Recap of Our Bolivia Mountain School

We go a message from the team today that they have arrived back in La Paz.

Chris and Micheline had an incredible week learning worthy alpine mountaineering skills and climbing two impressive peaks Pequeno Alpamyo (17,618ft/5,370m) and Illusion (17,487ft/5,330m). Hard work, determination and great leadership helped the team succeed!

Congratulations team!
