From Hannah: Why Bolivia? During the nine months since I'd booked onto the expedition, this question had been asked dozens of times by as many people, at the pre-expedition meets and by friends. My answer had to be i) the prospect of fine, dry and stable weather conditions ii) spending time mountaineering in several areas of the Cordillera Real and not just on one mountain and iii) the challenge posed by Illimani and Huayna Potosi, both at a greater altitude than what I'd been to on Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, one and a half years previously.
