Mountain Climbs in the Puna de Atacama
Around the Salta and Jujuy regions in north west Argentina lie some of
the Andes highest peaks. These are mountains for all, but predominately
for the modest mountaineer who wishes to tackle technically easy mountains
but at high altitude.They are an excellent training area if you aspire to some of the himalayan giants. We have selected an interesting mix in our itineraries. From the very high 6500m+ peaks of Cachi and Llullailluco to the easier 5500m peaks and volcanoes. More info......
Cordillera Real, Bolivia, June 2010 for Brain Tumour Research
Our
good friend, mountaineer and skier, Bob Redwood, is severely affected by
brain tumours of a type known as "Glioblastoma Multiforme" the most
common and aggresive type. This has led us to this fundraising effort. The
aim is to raise awareness and funds for the Brain
Tumour Research Campaign. Brain tumours affect people of all ages. There
is a great need for a better understanding of what causes them, how the
brain reacts to them and how they behave - and an even greater need for
better and more effective treatments.
A small group of friends from Spanish Highs Mountain Guides are planning a trip to Bolivia in June 2010. In a 3 week stay they aim to climb peaks of 5000m, 5500m and 6000m. The exact choice of target peaks will not be ascertained until the end of 2009 but the trip will be a massive challenge for all of us.
