So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching. I loved our time on the mountain. You should go!

[@morganshields2739]

Looks awesome! hope I can go there one day

I hope you can too! It was incredible.

[@BaurJoe]

This was so cool! Congrats on the accomplishment and for getting it all on camera 🎉

[@CarolineGleich]

Thanks so much for checking it out. I’m really happy how the edit turned out.

[@BaurJoe]

@@CarolineGleich my pleasure! you should definitely be proud.

[@luissanchez1159]

Great job guys! I did the Lemosho route on October 14th 2023. Like you said Caroline, is not a walk in the park. I had pretty bad altitude sickness but I pushed hard the last day. Congrats to the group!

[@luissanchez1159]

I'm planning to do the inca trail in may 2024. Any tips on that?

[@CarolineGleich]

I haven’t done the Inca trail but I have been climbed in other parts of Peru. I would recommend being careful with the water and food as I got very sick with travelers diarrhea in Peru.
