The alarm went off on our phones at 2:30AM which meant it was time to make our way to the summit. It was freezing when we woke up and went outside of our tents. Today would be the day that I wear all of

The headaches are settling in even more now. The decision to not take Diamox (Altitude Sickness medicine) is looking like a bad decision. One of our friends who wasn't taking Diamox was taking something

I stayed awake most of the night in the freezing conditions to take pictures of the Milky Way and play with long exposures. Since that was successful I decided to wake up early and get a time lapse of

The first night in the forest was chilly in the morning, I would say a good 50F at night and in the morning. Our porters set us up with some big tents made for 2 people. We also elected for the

In the beginning of 2017 I was trying to find a trip that pushed my limits and something  I have never done before.  I started looking at countries I haven't been to before and how many weeks
