点评:Thanks for my guide Eloy to make impossible possible. To climb the Huayna Potosi at 6.088m for my 64 birthday. I had just one day initiation with ice climbing and crampons. No prior high mountain experience. Never been in a refuge. No specific equipment. Plus I was pressed by the time due to my fly return so could not do the 3D/2N recommended and had to cram it in 2D/1N. All this looks like the perfect recipe for disaster. But never-less I decided to try it because Eloy told me that I could do it and I trusted him. Although he clearly explained to me the schedule I did not completely realized for what I was signing for!!! 😀. Eloy really wanted me to reach the summit for my birthday, he had been extremely patient and encouraging, I know that there is a time limit too, when the sun set then ice gets more fragile and crampons get less efficient which melting snow. So we were the last to arrive but still safely. On our way to the top we crossed a few that were clearly more experienced and fit but turned around before the summit. So mental, courage and determination is a strong factor. The other important factor is your guide, he will keep you safe, step by step will tell you what to do or not to do and why.
If you can do it, do it and put Eloy the best experienced guide on your side.
The reward will be immense!
翻译:感谢我的向导 Eloy 让不可能成为可能。在我 64 岁生日那天攀登 6.088 米的 Huayna Potosi。我刚刚接受了一天的攀冰和冰爪训练。之前没有高山经验。从未去过避难所。没有特定的装备。此外,由于我乘飞机返回,时间紧迫,所以无法完成推荐的 3 天 2 夜,只能将其塞进 2 天 1 夜。所有这些看起来都是灾难的完美配方。但尽管如此,我还是决定尝试一下,因为 Eloy 告诉我我可以做到,而且我相信他。虽然他清楚地向我解释了时间表,但我并没有完全意识到我签署的协议是什么!!!😀。Eloy 真的希望我在生日那天登顶,他非常耐心和鼓励,我知道也有时间限制,当太阳落山时,冰会变得更脆弱,冰爪会变得不那么有效,从而融化雪。所以我们是最后到达的,但仍然安全。在登顶的路上,我们遇到了一些显然更有经验、更强壮的人,但他们在登顶前就放弃了。所以,精神、勇气和决心是一个重要因素。另一个重要因素是你的向导,他会保证你的安全,一步一步告诉你该做什么、不该做什么以及为什么。
如果你能做到,就去做吧,让最有经验的向导埃洛伊站在你这边。
回报将是巨大的!
