Howdy folks!
Danny and Rodrigo here checking in again for what is now called the Up the Hill Gang. Today the team took a well deserved rest day at Plaza de Mulas basecamp after working hard the three previous days. We slept in a bit, had a good breakfast and then everyone relaxed all morning while the guides prepared food for the upper mountain.
After a delicious pasta lunch served by the basecamp staff, we took a walk down through all of basecamp and then back up to our section of camp. Even on rest days it’s good to get the legs moving a bit. Before dinner we all gathered together to have a talk about altitude, how we climb big mountains and why rest days are important. Everyone is resting well and looking forward to another acclimatization hike tomorrow to the 16,732 foot summit of Mt. Bonete. Check back again tomorrow for another update! Bye for now!
