Two to three feet snow stopped our summit bid at 17k. Add 30 mph winds and avalanche danger and our team was forced to descend. The bad weather would continue for several days so no future attempts were allotted for. Thus we had to pack up and head back to Colombia. It was a freakish snow storm. And no one of the many people on the mountain even attempted it from high camp. Our descent was sufficiently challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, I&#8217;m very proud of the team and their efforts. We summited Austria Peak and Charkini so that is two out of three. Our time in n county also included a side trip to Copacabana and a cruise on lake Titicaca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"3756\" src=\"http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_140919734_HDR-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3756\" srcset=\"http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_140919734_HDR-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_140919734_HDR-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_140919734_HDR-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_140919734_HDR-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3750\" src=\"http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_150214_160-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3750\" srcset=\"http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_150214_160-1024x1024.webp 1024w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_150214_160-300x300.webp 300w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_150214_160-150x150.webp 150w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_150214_160-768x768.webp 768w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_150214_160.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3751\" src=\"http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_141019291-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3751\" srcset=\"http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_141019291-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_141019291-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_141019291-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_141019291-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_141019291-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3757\" src=\"http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_135620142_HDR-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3757\" srcset=\"http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_135620142_HDR-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_135620142_HDR-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_135620142_HDR-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_135620142_HDR-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_135620142_HDR-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"3754\" src=\"http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_134851733_HDR-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3754\" srcset=\"http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_134851733_HDR-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_134851733_HDR-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_134851733_HDR-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/southernhighlanders.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_20230504_134851733_HDR-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>it was the best of times it was the worst of times.
