Huaraz

Hola, a quick update as have been busy with travelling to Lima and then getting to Huaraz (8 hr bus ride). Huaraz is at 3,000m so immediately after getting off the bus I was hit with the nausea of swaying side to side. That quickly resolved itself, but any significant exertion is met with rapid breathing (could be that I am just unfit!) and sometimes a minor headache.
That said, went to 3,800m today and tomorrow off to Laguna 69, which is at 4,500m. All of which is to help me acclimatise to the proper mountains that await. The first looks like it is going to be the classic acclimatisation mountain of Pisco at 5,800m or so. Mostly a walk up with two sections that may require pitching apparently. My partner at this stage is Ian Gough, a kiwi lad that also has found his way to Peru to spend time in the Cordillera Blanca for the dry season. Hopefully we will be able to line up some good mountains, so until then, chao.
