		<title>Illimani &#8211; 21,122 ft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The team had a great day resting in La Paz &#8211; as much as a 64km bike ride is considered restful - and then headed out on Saturday morning to tackle Illimani. I got the SPOT on Saturday that they had hit base camp. Base camp is actually pretty nice. The tents are pitched on a bed of thin soft [...]]]></description>

The Condoriri &#8211; head and wings


Today the team continued to climb and work their way back to La Paz. When I spoke to them about 4:00 MT, they were getting ready to head to a soccer match &#8211; a local Bolivian team versus a team from Paraguay. They summited an extra peak but I wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pequeno Alpamayo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At 5:00 this morning, when most of the civilized world was asleep, the team headed out from base camp for a summit attempt on Pequeno Alpamayo. Team meteorologist Joel Gratz was called in early this week for forecasts and as usual, he did not fail the team. He predicted a beautiful sunny day on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Condoriri</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The team left La Paz at about 7:00 this morning and headed towards the Condoriri area. The range is named because the mountains form the shape of a condor &#8211; complete with head, left wing and right wing.
I spoke to the team around 2:30 MT today. They were making camp right at the base of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Huyana Potosi &#8211; Summit!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The team headed up to high camp (click for SPOT location) on Saturday at 17,700. Unfortunately, they weren&#8217;t able to spend the night at the camp due to space/terrain issues so they stayed at the refugio about 1,000 vft up from base camp. The hut was very small and conditions were rough. The weather was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Base Camp &#8211; Huyana Potosi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The team spent the day acclimating by moving up to Base Camp and tooling around with hikes to just under 17,000 feet. The weather is snowy and cold and fortunately base camp is a small hut appropriately named &#8220;Refugio Casa Blanca.&#8221; They are with a German team and at the time of the sat call, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Acclimating at Copacabana</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The team continues to acclimate in Copacabana. They happen to be there during the week of the celebration of the Virgen de Copacabana plus Bolivian independence day. The town is full of pilgrams paying homage to the statue of the Virgin, praying at the stations of the cross on the mountain and locals and Peruvians making offerings and partying [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Day Wrap Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The team had a great first day in Bolivia. They spent the day acclimating to the high altitudes (12,500-13,500 ft). Everyone is feeling strong and there are no signs of AMS.
They are staying the shores of Lake Titicaca here in Copacabana.  Normally this is a sleepy mountain hamlet but with uncanny timing they hit the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where 14ers are &#8220;Bumps&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The team arrived safely in chilly La Paz this morning with most of their gear. I say &#8220;most of the gear&#8221; as one key bag of Charley&#8217;s gear has been &#8220;delayed&#8221; by the airlines. We are on pins and needles waiting for the call that the bag has arrived.
In the meantime, the team headed off to Lake Titicaca (3,278m/12,628 ft). [...]]]></description>
