"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Great acclimatisation walkClimbed with Jon Watt to start the acclimatisation process before tackling the larger mountains. Set off from Refugio San Bernardo with 3 dogs (!) and reached top of Andresito with two of them, before going on (without the dogs) to top of Arenales and finally Lomas Blancas - before descending to the Portezuelo and thence back to the Refugio. The full round took us about 4 hours.
