Teacher Training estilo Andino

" Chasing angels or fleeing demons, go to the mountains" Jeffrey Rasley

Rise with the sun, dark coffee, mountaineer breakfast, hike up the moraine, glacier, glacier, glacier, down the moraine, more technical stuff, dinner and into the sleeping bag... the days go by as we share information with a group of eleven COBS  instructors. In between rescue systems, crevasses and altitude, we hit a few summits, enjoy the light of a powerful full moon and drink tea as the sun hides in the horizon. Llamas, andean wolves, eagles, curiquingues and condor's occasionally visit our nomadic tent camp to see who the intruders are.

" Buscando angeles o huyendo de los demonios, ve a las montañas" Jeffrey Rasley

Despertarse con el sol, cafe negro, desayuno de andinistas, sube la morrena, glaciar, glaciar, glaciar, baja la morrena, mas clases,  cenar y a dormir... se pasan los dias mientras compartimos información con un grupo de 11 instructores de COBS. Entre sistemas de recate, grietas y altura, nos damos el tiempo de subir un par de cumbres, disfrutar de la luna llena y de tomar te mientas el sol se esconde en el horizonte. Llamas, lobos andinos, gavilanes, curiquingues y condores asoman de vez en cuando a visitar nuestro campamento nómada y descubrir quienes son  estos intrusos.

  1. Nice to see you on your 'home' turf. And revisit some places I've been through your camera.
