Day 1: Arrive at base camp, then climbing across the glacier at the foot of the mountain
Day 2: Leave at 9.00am, climb up to the high camp at 5100 metres with our big backpacks, filled with our new snow boots, crampons and icepicks. Arrive at the camp around midday, play uno.
Day 3: Wake up at 1.00am, leave at 2.00am, and climb up to the summit of Huayna Potosi (6088 metres), mostly in the dark. Come back down again. It will surely be the highest we reach on this trip (and unless we go climbing Everest or something (8800 metres if you were wondering) maybe ever).
There you go, confirmed... you two really are mad... but hey, what an achievement.... A big well done to both of you....
