Bolivia Expedition
June 05 – 21, 2015
Four long time BAI climbers are coming together for an exciting expedition. Rafael, Trevor, Hugo and Margaret will be travelling to the culturally rich country of Bolivia with the goal of summiting some of Bolivia’s greatest peaks. From Cerro Austria (17,550ft/5,348m), to Pequeno Alpamayo (17,618ft/5,370m) and onto the highest point in Bolivia; Sajama (21,486ft/6,542m) this team of great climbers are about to experience some of the world class climbing Bolivia is known for.
This will be the second special climb this year for long time BAI climber Trevor Stuart. He will be climbing in Bolivia in support of YWCA Lethbridge District. Trevor's campaign “Elevating lives, one peak at a time” is his effort to raise at least $250,000 for YWCA Harbour House and to raise awareness about family violence issues.
Donations can be made through the YWCA Lethbridge District website at: www.ywcalethbridge.org. The link will be under the tab called EVENTS on the website. Please take the time to read more about Trevor’s “Y” and listen to his short YouTube video as well! You will get a great feel for who and what Trevor is all about.
Follow along as these BAI climbers immerse themselves in the fascinating Bolivian culture while challenging themselves with some fantastic climbing.
