Day 15 - Pampa De Linas Revisited

After an incredible summit day (more of which I´ll share about in my post climb reflections) - we retreated to Camp 2, then to Base Camp with some incredibly heavy packs.

We enjoyed an excellent post climb celebration at Base Camp with dinner, wine, a birthday cake for Nancy, champagne for all and a heated card game.

We´ve started our hike out today and though it feels lovely to have a day pack on (thanks mules!) I´m having a hard time getting my head wrapped around another day of rocks, dust, wind and smelly clothes and tent living. The bigger struggle are the lung issues I´m having since summit day. I´m left with regular fits of coughing - definitely something I´ll have to address before future climbs.

For now I have dreams of long bubble baths, shopping and wine tasting in Mendoza and of course a big hug from my dog and all back home.

Back at you with post climb reflections....
