Before heading off to the
Before heading off to the Bolivian Andes, I spent a night on Mt. Rainier in a blizzard. By the time I reached Camp Muir (10,200 ft./3100 m), the wind gusts had reached ~50 mph and were relentlessly driving freezing rain into my face. Suffering altitude sickness from about 8 pm on, the night was a blur of pounding headache, sleep apnea, and howling winds. I woke up to a tent full of fine powder and frozen shoes. As I broke down my tent and got ready to descend, my feet were so cold I thought I was going to get frostbite.
It was awesome.

DISCLAIMER:
The purpose of this trip was to test out the ultralight gear that I was taking on my 2 week hike through the Cordillera Real in the Bolivian Andes (vids coming soon), which varied between 14,000 - 17,000 feet in altitude. I needed to see what issues I ran into in extreme conditions at moderate altitude in case I needed to change anything during my trip. When hiking or climbing in these conditions, I recommend heavier, warmer gear including a 4-season tent, plastic boots, and an appropriately rated sleeping bag.
