Arequipa :: Chachani Base Camp ::
Peering through the opening of my one-woman tent, I keep all body parts inside. At heights edging over 17,000 feet, it is extremely cold, even in direct sunlight. I rest here anxiously as the afternoon unfolds. Unbeknownst to me, this window of time is my last period of lucidity for the next full day. As night falls, gusts of wind forcibly grip my tent and temperatures fall below -10 degrees Celsius.
