Antisana summit !

What a day ! A lot of people ask my why I climb and when I describe an expedition they're always saying something like : " and you enjoy this. where's the fun ? rather be on the beach" .  True, sometimes 80%, sometimes even 95% of the climb is not so enjoyable but in the last 5% there's the emotion attached to reaching the top of a mountain. Really hard to describe, only mountain climbers can relate to it. So it's full of emotion that we've reach the summit of Antisana this morning Véronique, Fredy and I in a perfect weather day with clear blue sky and an amazing view of the volcano avenue. 

For Véronique, it was her first big summit and she can now relate to how emotional you get when you reach a summit. It wasn't easy for her as Antisana is quite technical with plenty of crevasses but digging deep, she made it and we happily celebrated the summit together.  

I love mountain climbing !
