Pokemon Heart Gold Sprite Sheet

Everything = Something

There are things that people have and nobody knows who has them. For example, my dad has an iPhone 4. I do not want to put the balance in the (only him), but a lot of people who have lots of things and do not use even 10% of its potential (like the brain), or in other cases, poorly used as received, as is the case of atomic energy to create bombs.
As you said Einstein. "Intelligence and character of the masses
are much lower than the intelligence and character of
the few who produce something valuable to the community"
Then, years later, Violeta Parra sing "I do not know why my God gives generously, so tape hat who has no head. "
This gives us to discuss at length, but at such a ceremony eternal, I think I'd rather throw the ball to see who I follow the rhythm: As I can
approved as valuable as supplied by science, philosophy, the arts, I can provide that in these we also have the distinction of "mass society" and "lights", but within the same areas. I mean, is not necessary to separate between scientists and the rest of the world to explain that some do know and others for nothing: In the same area who will know some very specific knowledge, but do not have access to a broad view of things, that the right to be "useful." "A man whose reputation is based on his ability to a precise technique is negligible. Concentrating all its energy on a single object, has become an excellent course but has failed to be interested in other things. Such a man is of no use "(Hagaruke, the way of Samurai)
Also instructed to decide only on a philosophical school or Vasar their art only in a specific style, is hardly a contribution, will hardly valuable.
is the case of folklore. Folklore is so self-sufficient and impermeable to other cultures, which tends to be a museum and its supporters defend both its purity that ultimately becomes an old picture album or a grandparent, which has no historic value. Does not represent voice contingent is in no current impact (And had a significance years ago) and thanks to the defenders of tradition, has been frozen, dried, stuffed, with the overwhelming desire to keep it alive forever, he was killed, have mummified alive. It is like standing water, which not run anywhere, it rots.
We can say that distinguish elements of folk roots in certain works, but being an honest product of momentum work of an artist located in the NOW, we will see that only parts of genetic material, a product of climate, inherited languages.
What can it give an adherent to any thinker who is not us that his teacher, if only based on it? What I used listen to a guitarist who plays everything is stolen from his idol? "Today they served a scientist who denies metaphysics?
spoke with the mother of a friend about the importance of the full development of human being that has been a tremendous amputation specialization of professions, which is effective for the job, but left incomplete knowledge of the people and thus prevent its realization.
This makes me think that many people feel enough with the knowledge they acquired and to the detriment of themselves, they deny any validity to other disciplines, beliefs, knowledge, ways. Of course, those seeking to advance their development will be enriched for all the knowledge you can acquire and gradually realize that you can find all the knowledge that everything means something, you see the child and the drunk, the elderly and the poor man can also be teachers.
A to go with this. I think it is real help for the world to life for the community, the teaching on many topics as much as possible. This is not a call for the consideration of many university courses, at all. But if you realize a world that exists outside our areas of study, which will optimize the way we always do what we do and the long term will certainly be a contribution to our voice. And probably at some point things collide, and we see all the familiar question, which is very good because, for example, when we share knowledge with our friends who have other work we know logic very different from ours and if we are vigilant, we can get progress on issues where we are stuck in our areas, because as the saying goes Africa "the truth does not fit on a single head."
me conclude by quoting the following, also from Hagakure:
"many errors being caused by the belief that it is essential to be strictly logical and place righteousness above all else. There is a way higher than the righteous, but his discovery is not an easy thing and requires a profound wisdom. Compared with this approach, the logical principles are negligible in effect. This route is to talk with others. It often happens that a person, although imperfect, can give wise advice to another, because it can dominate the external situation, the same as that in the game of Go, has "the advantage of being a spectator." It says it is also possible to discern his faults by the "look at yourself" and meditation, but also in this case the result is also better when you talk to others. "

By this I always thank the Friends such diverse interests of all the conversations taken, has always been a chair to share with you
Top beer and Friends!

ps: If you. Consider spreading this writing, this right. But everything means something.

stringing Again to Salta "la linda". He had been invited to participate in the climb a hill and give a speech to mark the 25 Anniversary of Janajman Mountain Club. This noble institution of mountaineering and Argentina Salta was founded in 1985. During those years, this institution has made countless mountain activities both nationally and internationally important mountaineering and climbing courses, significant redemptions and solidarity actions in mountain areas.
The anniversary event was supported by the Government of Province of Salta, the Administration of Salta, the City of San Antonio Collection and the Argentine Army.
The schedule of activities had already started on October 4 with a permanent exhibition of equipment and photographs mountain, at its headquarters in the street on February 20 735 for the capital city of Salta.


Activities House of Culture Salta

October 9 at 9 am was the opening of the celebrations, with important talks in House of Culture of Salta, then continuing with a recognition authorities and former presidents, and a fellowship lunch at the club scene.

Luego de ello la partida hacia San Antonio de los Cobres donde esa noche se realizaría una cena fogón para continuar durante el día siguiente las charlas y una mesa debate.
Finalmente el día 11, diferentes grupos, encararían el ascenso del Volcán Tuzgle de 5.530 m, el Nevado Acay de 5.781 m , el Cerro Pompeya de 4.100m, actividades de escalada en el Cerro la Juguetería de 4.200 m .s  y un trekking al Cerro Terciopelo de 3.900 m . 



Immediately after lunch and after the teams off the meeting and the mountain, several trucks and a bus, we left San Antonio de Los Cobres. Was scheduled a stop, almost halfway, just over 100 kilometers Salta, to visit the ruins of Tastil.



Tastil

            Tastil, por sobre los 3.100 metros de altura sobre el nivel del mar, cuyo entorno habitacional cobija en el presente muy pocas personas, albergó en el pasado, unos ciento cincuenta años antes de la invasión inca, algunos miles de almas.
A dos kilómetros de distancia del pueblo y ascendiendo unos 200 metros , se aprecian, aún con magnificencia, los restos del complejo preincaico housing and control center and zonal administration. Since it is easy to contemplate the whole environment surrounding valleys. It consists of a tangle of ruined homes, various venues, twisted and curved streets that converge on a pole. Invited to imagine how busy it would have been the last of that place and way of life of its original inhabitants. It is not surprising to sharpen the eye seen, scattered everywhere, pottery shards and small pieces of obsidian, a result of making arrowheads. Also continuing to look you can see petroglyphs and burial.

San Antonio de los Cobres

soon continue our march, to arrive at San Antonio de los Cobres. I checked the odometer on my car, had traveled from out of Mendoza, and after passing through Salta and Tastil, 1,458 miles to get here.
San Antonio de los Cobres was not the same place he had met during the expedition to Llullaillaco in 1995. Had expanded a lot. San Antonio de los Cobre, located approximately 3,700 m and was formerly an Indian village, and then served for the alternative route of the mule trains that passed through colonial Puna de Atacama to Lima, then was stopped during the passage of cattle to feed the miners of nitrate in the Atacama Desert and was also ancient capital of the Territory Nacional de Los Andes. Territory became the province's jurisdiction Salta in 1943, when it was dissolved and had been founded in 1899.


continue during the day after the presentations in San Antonio of the Coppers.

After the toasts and greetings dinner, and a fire that included the participation of young people , began the march towards the bunk where we would spend the night. And the next day expeditions began the program prepared by the organization Janajman Club.


Guillermo ready for departure


In the morning of October 11, just 4 hours, began twitching between berths hall, with consequent noise. He got up the first group of climbers who would leave just after 5 hours for Tuzgle. A second group would one hour later due to the hill Toy Store. The that we should leave the Nevado Acay at 6 am and finally those who were leaving for the Pompeii and velvet, they would at 9 am.



Finally, we went to Acay: Magguy, William, Edward and I, considering it was our goal to close distance, it seemed better to leave at 7 hours. The vehicle, which should be exposed by 5,000 meters high in the middle of dawn, had planned last night to add kerosene to diesel fuel tank.




The Nevados de Acay is a mountain that lies about 27 km . in a straight line south-easterly direction from San Antonio of the receipts and to 86 Km . clockwise Northwest also in a straight line from the city of Salta.
He fully appreciated from the route 51, which connects Salta to San Antonio de los Cobres shortly before arriving at the latter place .
After the foothills north of this mountain routes meet 51 and 40 (which comes from Cachi) and continue together, for a few miles to San Antonio de Los Cobres .








rise Sheet: SNOWY ACHAIA

Expedition held on October 11 , 2010
Summit Date: 10/11/1910

Summit reached :
Nevado de Acay Summit.

Position and Altitude :
The position of this summit is: S 24 ° 25,085 and 09,593 or 66 °
Height
summit GPS estimated 5,781 m
IGM Height 5,716 m
height, carved (1983) in a small wooden rail cross next to the summit, 5,950 m

Route :
starting from the North Slope area of \u200b\u200bthe mine.

Access:
From Salta we continue through the road No. 51 towards San Antonio de los Cobres, entering from the road (22 Km . before San Antonio de Los Cobres) by a trace, until the end of it.

Members of the expedition to summit :
Maggui Acevedo, William Almaraz, Namur and Jaime Eduardo Suárez.

best time to climb :
Virtually every year, with the care of each season and more and better equipment in winter considering possible snowfall. There are strong winds.

Difficulty :
High mountain. Not difficult. Essential to a good acclimatization and previous experience in running high and high altitude.

Team :
amount is usually in the day, may well be dispensed with tent, sleeping bag and a backpack loaded with weight to back, and if so should take a coat of high mountain gloves and mittens, double shoes, poles, hat, sunglasses, GPS. Bring water. In winter it is convenient to use double boots and crampons.




Started at the time agreed upon and then travel the 22 km . from San Antonio of the Coppers, point S 24,17.490, o66, 9,108 to 3,965 m the altitude, we left the path entering a track that led to the hill. It was a normal traffic until you reach the Piedras Coloradas sector where tongues of ice tapaban our footprint. We had to leave the comfort of the vehicle, and it was easy to drift and find the shovel in the trunk of tools. With the soft rays of the 8 am beginning to illuminate the horizon, we started working on the hard ice cleaning tread grooves that would transit through the wheels of our vehicle. It was an effective job that we take turns. From then on low speed and placed the winding path continue until the end of the road in the area called the mine. There would be the truck, the 5,028 meters high. Time 8.35 hrs. And the position S24, 24,477, o66, 10,552.

To our summit

At 8.50 hours in the backpack carrying some food, some fruit and a liter of water, we began our ascent step.
The summit would be in the day. In this part of the northern Argentine Andes is usually the possibility of a 4x4 to heights that often exceed 4,000 meters and sometimes as in this case, the 5,000, to peaks with heights of around 6,000 meters. Consequently, a difference of 500 or 800 meters is feasible to do so, including the return to the starting point in the day.
this method has advantage in power do in one day, a rise of importance, but it loses more fully appreciate the environment you climb, the talks of the camp, and spend more time in contemplation of the top and all the mountain environment.
Logically, crowning a hilltop in that format, the absence of previous acclimatization, a person must have some degree of adaptability to the elevation, height and experience. I suggest be very careful with novice climbers and people who find it hard to acclimate.

We ascending slowly and steadily and now and then rotating the first row , who played her set the pace. It was very cold, which did not suggest taking any fur gloves. But we thanked the sun's rays and a lack of wind. We would try to do 50 minutes of climb by 10 of rest and maintain it to the summit.
Almost an hour later we were beginning the ascent to 5,230 meters . Overcome two hundred meters of altitude, but the steep climb surface became more sluggish and required more legwork.
At l0, 40 we are replacing the forces 5,364 meters. We had covered a vertical drop of 135 meters more.
An hour later, and already in the 5,500 meters , another gap the same. It was more laborious and the rise of the last 280 meters .
At 12.35 we were in the 5,600 meters . The wind began to bother, and not forsake us.
An hour later, at 5686. We lacked few 100 meters to cap Acay . The cold continued.
Measure the effort and see us while we were looking at the slope, the best slope and ground as possible.


At 14.30 hours a appreciate 50 meters away, with little slope, the ruined the summit cairn and a wooden cross that points.

Gradually we were waiting and closing the group to reach the summit together. At 14.40 hours we completed the climb and touch the large wooden cross which reads "NEVADO DE Achaia ".

That absurd, and the designation of Nevado in many of our mountains. Respond to geographical conditions of the last century. In the central Andes and northern Argentina, at present, are viewed only large white patches of snow, as a result of a storm. Have disappeared, and continue to the glaciers that covered the tops and slopes of many of our peaks. To make matters worse, the open-pit mining chemical is contaminating thousands of liters of water reserves that have resulted and result from the melting snow and glaciers, once considered "eternal" and that are and will be irreplaceable. All that means a lot of wealth for some foreigners, and miserable few dollars for some countrymen, much misery for the future of our populations of mountain ecosystems and pollution future for all.

One by one we were hugging and the occasional gesture changed face tear. He had been an arduous climb, but extremely pleasant to enjoy all the time an exceptional camaraderie. William sought the summit book and stamped our names on it. We noted the paragraphs that wrote the very popular Father Paul Pagano, Janajman Club member, who had been the previous climbers who had ascended.


A sixty miles away to the south, will show profiles of the peaks of the Nevado de Cachi, it was not easy to define But there they were, standing on the horizon.

Probably for the Inca trail that passes through the western slopes of Acay and joined the San Antonio Current Collections in Cachi, spent the advance Diego de Almagro, to proceed along these valleys Calchaquíes to the current Santa Maria, then and finally Shincal Watungasta ( La Troya ), where you would expect the summer of 1536 to cross Copayapo (Copiapo) in Chile, which come in the month of June .

We took the usual photos of summit, with an annoying wind that does not provide the management. William took the opportunity to communicate by telephone and give the new President of Club Janajman, Fernando Martinis, and knowing the way news of the other expeditions. Shortly after the testimony placed in honor of the club 25 years later, spurred by the wind started to return.









In the environment of the summit we could see crumbling walls, perhaps a rectangular building, and could also seen some piles of stones which apparently could have been egg-shaped stone walls.


Ascend over 750 meters almost 6 hours had been our job. Not bad, considering that we had made the dessert a few days of festivities.
After just over two and a half long hours, and having undertaken a more direct descent to the ascent route, we arrive at our vehicle in the area of \u200b\u200bthe abandoned mine.
At 18, very relaxed, and comfortably in the seats of our van, we began the descent into San Antonio de los Cobres.
We learned in great detail all the mountain activities of the day. And these are, broadly speaking, the results of different groups, as we faced the peaks of the promotion program of the Club
Tuzgle Volcano, 5,530 m of , the group arrived past 7 o'clock. Involving 28 civilians and 8 soldiers, accessing your top 27 climbers. For 6 of them was his baptism of high mountains.
At the summit of Pompeii, 4,100 m and the Velvet, 3.900m, 20 people participated, which crowned the summit. For 7 of them, meant his baptism in height. One of them, at Pompeii, was Juan Almaraz, son of William, who won his first four thousand.
then return to Salta. We deserved to celebrate with a dinner washed down with beer tenderloin black Salta.
He was a successful 25-year anniversary of fruitful and prolific work of the Club Janajman.

Take Provigil And Cymbalta Together

STORIES CACHI

STORIES
The Lady and the Vicuñita

We were in La Rioja , about 60 km . Jagüé High, covering the environment Laguna Brava . This saltwater lake stretching white meekly to 4,200 m in height, more than 15 kilometers , including the Pampa the Veladero and Pampa the Rock. Vivenciábamos in it, the scary sight of flamingos, a sparse flora encouraged by low freshwater inflows beat a lost fight against salinity of the lagoon, a large and elusive red fox, breathable and small geysers, old Inca settlement, once a major human center in the area, with its dilapidated buildings, "and the context of large and snowy mountains on the horizon all sectors. It is a majestic and stunning landscape that never ceases to admire and discover.

Soon the evening shadows began to lengthen their while dark clouds were covering the sky, until then bright blue. We headed for the Dead Mulas Refuge, about 8 km . away, dodging pieces of the old and the new road under construction. The arrival to the shelter allowed us heaved a sigh of relief. We got off our bags and equipment, and soon savor a hot tea.

Then we went to see weather and gray forms taking the contours of the hills that surround the refuge. Looking to the one in the back we were surprised to see the trembling silhouette of a camel is silhouetted against the dark clouds, stumbling, falling and rising again, only to fall again.

Then think of a sick or injured animal, so slowly, with Stephanie, begin to ascend to where he was in his late fall. Within minutes we got to him. Vicuñita was a very fragile little body, a very few days of life, with two huge eyes shining in a tiny head, which is mimicked on the ground next to the yellow and multiple coirones.

Seeing us arrive, he tried unsuccessfully to stand. With sweet and gentle words came Stephanie a ella tomándola con facilidad en sus brazos. Miramos en derredor y no vimos ningún otro animal. Decidí subir unos cerros aledaños para ver señales de su madre. Enero es un mes de parición para estos animales, pero lo raro era que estuviese solo. Barajé algunas posibilidades al no observar movimiento alguno por gran distancia de los alrededores. O su madre lo abandonó, que suele suceder aunque raramente. Que haya sido matada por alguien. O que el recién nacido por alguna circunstancia se hubiese separado de la manada y no se volviesen a reunir, lo que me resultaba difícil.

Bajamos con el bello animalito hasta el refugio. Estefanía, que está terminando race nutrition, quickly made her a warm milk and improvised a bottle with a small container of mineral water, which provides brand-billed luck. Vicuñita arranged the first on the floor and was turning slowly drops of milk into his mouth. In the beginning was a natural rejection, but then it increased acceptance as in his empty stomach was starting to get some of the vital liquid. She was hungry. Accepted half of the pack and was resting and assimilating food. A little later, as the compliance in the arms of his mother ended up all the liquid.

A short while later stopped back on its feet with some grace. Someone whispered, is cuter than Bambi! The left free. It was slowly moving away from us towards the lagoon the dead mule. But some jumped 100 meters on the ground exhausted. And stayed there resting. I thought it was ideal. If your mother was about the call or arrimaría it. We went inside the shelter.

was two or three hours, until a mutual gaze crossed the red fox image in our brains. We ran to where he had been "Bambi." There she was, curled up and receiving corpuscles crystalline snow that the wind began to bring. Stephanie took her in his hands and settled into a large existing stone oven in front of the shelter. Prepared another bottle of milk, for dinner, and motherly in the middle of the dim light of a lantern he gave every sip. Appeared and the little tongue of the vicuña trying to suck more food. Excellent sign! murmured the lady. It was time to go to sleep. It started snowing harder. All night there was storm. I was glad we'd made the decision.

The dawn was white. There were no images defined. Only the closest vehicle covered with snow. We went in the oven. Bambi was okay, although his pelamen upholstery snow surface. Again her large eyes turned to Stephen. This again had prepared a bottle of hot milk. And again began the ceremony of food, though now greatly facilitated.

We were happy. Bambi looked better, and I was not sick at some point as we had feared. I could not help but be pleasantly surprised when Stephanie leaving the oven, the animal immediately stopped and came swiftly after her. With gentleness and joy followed step by step, and when The lady stopped, the vicuñita circling it. He had found his surrogate mother! I was not going to abandon it for anything!

could not leave her there. Her mother had not appeared. Very soon be the victim of a fox or a lion. As we were leaving settled into the arms of the lady in the front seat enjoying the sunshine that caressed through the windshield, while stripping out the cold. Gently traveled with us.

Urriche The popular Don Cirilo and excellent people, "Jagüé-rangers, would take over it. This happened because these people gladly took over. As we walked away a tear shone in the face of the lady. Jagüé traveler who passes by, be sure to admire the vicuñita.

Age 2-20 Versus Bmifemale





Nevado de CACHI




Nevado de CACHI

SALTA - ARGENTINA REPUBLIC

By Jaime Suárez

The Nevado de Cachi, mountain range extends from north to south, is one of the major mountain systems in the province of Salta. The nine stand him peaks, the highest being the Libertador General San Martin, 6,380 m. It is in the Eastern Cordillera, about 90 miles as the crow flies from the capital of Salta and just over 200 kilometers of border with Chile.

There is a beautiful and accurate book, "The Nevado de Cachi" Christian Vitry, where you can deepen the understanding of this beautiful snow.

Brief

The first attempt to climb this mountain was in charge of a German explorer, Frederick Reichert, in June 1904. He was also the first rise high in the Andes. Cafayate and Mills went through until you reach a farm called Lurucatao, last village, where mules were bred, and from there, looking for salt, mules and departed with load, Nevado West of North. In their advance, looking at the snowy mass could not resist the temptation to climb it. With mules progressed from east to nearly 5,000 meters and then, without any company undertook the ascent to the summit. A stormy wind chill made it back was quoted as saying, "in the 6,200 meters," unable to reach the top. That route is now known as the West or Reichert.

The first people to top it off, without regard to any pre-Columbian culture, was Dr. Arne Hoygaard, accompanied by the Franciscan Friar and Lt. Oliver Pelicelli 1 Peter Di Easter, 1950.

Contact the Nevado de Cachi

In May 2000 we received an invitation to the then Federation of Mountaineering Mendoza, on the initiative of the Club Salta Adventure, the Friends of the Mountain Club and the Club Janajman Mountain to participate in the "National Mountain - Cachi 2000", which would be the first in a series of encounters for most of the next decade will continue in different provinces.

Cachi, by the magic of archaeological heritage, historical, cultural and even religious, together with the nearby presence of snow, was the ideal place for a gathering of mountaineers. The same was successful and culminated in an expedition to the snowy peaks, where I could not participate in work commitments, and I would like unfinished business.

Ten years later, I accepted an invitation from me Nicholas Pantaleone Nevado Jump to climb from the days of Holy Week.

The issue:

We find Nicholas Pantaleone in Catamarca, a little beyond and Alpasinche Aimogasta in junction of Route 60 to the 40 that continues to Bethlehem and continue to Cafayate and Cachi. Nicolás, Salta seasoned mountaineer, was returning from a successful expedition where he had climbed Ojos del Salado, common with other dear friends, ushering in a new climbing route they called "bicentennial".

Nico, without rest, but continue with us acclimated mountain activity in Cachi.

In the town of Cachi, S-25, 6066, O-66, 11,068, 2,454 m, we are at 10 , 30 am, with the rest of the participants, who were waiting for us.

begin to prepare the team and dressed to immediately start the expedition. Two hours later we left the van Cachi by a beautiful road, through a flat, green valley with distant and isolated houses with red roofs. The environment was initially sporadic studded cactus, which at one side of the road were planted indicating a long curve. Several small, bright golden cactus pears exhibited. The use of certain sectors of the union slightly sloping valley to the mountain and drying of peppers, gave him a unique feature of the landscape.

far does the vehicle

On Friday 2 April at 13.50 arrived at the site would be our truck or likin Huayco Hondo , near a small stream that contains the river Pailas and infinity pools surrounded by rocks, which reflect an important pre-Columbian past. The posiciónS-25, 0,871, o66, 15,026, the 3,297 m.

At two in the afternoon, we began our march lasting several days, with heavy backpacks containing equipment, food and tents. We were looking for our first camp. We were still tired from the long journey by car and immediately begin a prolonged ascent was not very nice to say, but I had to do it. Nearly 2.4 km below, and the 3,575 meters in height Nico leads us to the ranch of Mrs. Jacinta. This is a small, solidly built of stone, which is not known its location and be fully incorporated into the natural environment blends with and is very possible to go by without discovering it. It is inhabited by this lady, who gives the name, which takes care of his herds of goats. We rested a few minutes and continued the march for a thin heavy track. Their environment, in the first kilometers was studded with rocks of all sizes.

Piedra Grande - First camp

At 9 pm, and having risen during the last hour with the light of the front and Nico shouts locators, we reached our first goal, Piedra Grande, S24, 59,005, o66, 17,571 in the 4,152 m. We set up the tent and immediately after a light supper we lay down to rest and recuperate.

We long delayed 7 hours to travel the 5.5 miles that separated us from our vehicle, a drop of 855 meters.

We do not stop to admire the next morning, over breakfast with tranquility. A quick hummingbird cross several times over our heads. Piedra Grande, as its name suggests, a huge rock, which calculate eye about 9 meters by 20 meters long. You can bivouac in holes left by the stone on the bottom. Is broken in the middle and in sheltered hollows surely ancient inhabitants and hunters.

From the top of the stone Nicholas could communicate with your phone. The view was totally blocked Cachi few hundred meters below, with cotton clouds, whereas to our destination the sun was shining bright.

leave at 11 hours to our next camp.

Stone Island - Second camp

did not last long sunshine. As we continued climbing began to cover the entire sky. It is very nice even though they feel the weight of the backpack, the feeling you experience when passing through areas of meadows which are cut by threads of clear water that descends from the snowy peaks. Also, to overcome rocky slopes, feel the sound of water under rocks. It is life that goes from the top of the mountain, where it nests and where is lavished. Too bad the man respects nature!

Every so often, two or three whitish rocks superimposed on a much more, they gave us an indication of course that we follow. We reached an area of \u200b\u200bmeadows with several small bodies of water and large stones, a little above the Big Island, but ideal for a camping. The position S24, 57,583, o66, 19,366, and the height 4,770 m. It took us almost 6 hours to travel the 4 miles that separated us from our first camp, in a drop of 618 meters. At 5 pm we started to make our tents. This was followed by the inevitable afternoon tea and at 20 hours after dinner, and rest. That night the clouds that had preceded us, discharged water first and then snow, which eventually made us fear that if the storm will continue to hinder us promotion. Luckily the morning sunshine shone on the snowy setting and tents.

Khun Amphitheatre - Third camp

A good breakfast prepared us for the new day. In each camp, apart from leaving the community garbage bag, which would collect the return, we left some clothes and food. We wanted to reduce to the minimum weight of our burden.

Again the lower valley was covered with clouds and into the snow sun shone on the slopes of the amphitheater and Hoygaard glacier.

Stone Island We left at 10.45 am, reaching areas with large rocks, some of which when footsteps were moving, and traveling solitary plains, but almost always with water in sight. It was a delight, taking sips of water with the hollow of his hand, everywhere I could. It is the tastiest water there. Chinchillones met several times, slowly disappearing from our view. Nico found, in the nervous gaze of their parents hovering nearby, two chicks of a bird called Queo and melt into the ground. After a photograph of again put in place. Where it would arrive our camp 3, late in the amphitheater Franz Kun, at 16.30 hours. During that day, Sunday April 4, we waited five and a half hours of arduous march to travel only 2.6 km in a drop of 486 meters. Our position was S24, 57,205, o66, 20,798, in the 5,256 m high.

base camp Fourth Glacier Hoyggard

Knowing it would be short the run of the day, but very demanding because we had to pass from where we were a steep slope to the last camp. We would do it on the top end of the amphitheater. We left at 11.15, having left all that we believe would not need to load. First gently climbed about 150 meters, 500 meters after transit distance, and we are facing a trough, with steep slope, just over 150 meters high, we would place the 5,555 meters, and the amphitheater outside. This last effort it took 1.45 hours. From there, after 40 minutes, we arrived almost 15 hours which would be our last camp S 24,57.173, o66, 21,336, in the 5,615 m. We taken just over 3 hours to travel only 1.2 km, which included a very steep slope, in a total drop of 360 meters.

Looking toward our goal, I could see the glacier about 600 meters ahead lies on the south wall of Hoygaard, is fully formed by penitents. We break down little by little we used to call "eternal snow." Tomorrow would pass nearby.


The weather was excellent and the sun was shining everywhere. The best general mood and expressed during the afternoon tea and conversation groups in the largest tent. A dinner 20 hours, and then we went to sleep. At this point it is impossible not to wake up several times during the night, but soon went back to doze to know that we should wake up at 5 am to start at 6 climb. After 5 hours broke the silence starry night indicating that there was some yelling to get up. ceremony started breakfast and started to get all the team high.

Hoygaard At the top of

We went out, this Tuesday, April 6, time at 6 am, prior to placing some stones inside the tents and close with care. At the start using our headlamps and cold feeling in the fingers, especially at the time of sunrise, by the elevation of the arms at the pole. With the sun rise was more comfortable, though still exhausting. At each break, to contemplate a few kilometers adjacent cusps as the San Miguel and Meléndez, was overwhelming. At 10 am we were all gathered around the stones that mark with an old rod, probably used many years ago as a cane or who knows what significance, the highest peak of Hoygaard. position S24, 56,843, o66, 22,280, and the height of my GPS 6,213 m.


We taken just over 3 hours to travel the 1.8 km . that separated us from the last camp, with a height of 600 meters to the summit of Hoygaard. Not bad. A few feet away stood a lone metal tube of just over five feet tall, attached by two tensors, which some point will have had some function or some contrivance sustained. Three feet from the pile of stones that held the rod and where were the proof, had drawn on the stone floor with a strange whitish penta-cross three feet wide, which raises questions about who had done and whether he or not hundreds of years. Unfortunately if you're not careful you can distort when passing over it. No need to modify anything in a summit, especially when there is archaeological past.

We celebrated with hugs the top, we took the usual photos, we reviewed the records of Summit and add a paper with our data.

The group was divided. Nicholas and Michelle continue towards the main summit of Nevado, accompanied by Marcela and I would go to San Miguel de Palermo. I remember reading the book, which cited the existence Christan at the summit of San Miguel in a drywall semicircular horseshoe shaped a height of about 0.70 and 0.40 m in diameter 1 meter north-south and east-west 1.50. And I was interested to behold.

We parted, prior coordination to establish a radio every hour. Strongly each group faced its next goal. Mica and Nico continue to cruise above the 6,200 m after a distance of 2.6 km to the 6,380 summit of El Libertador. After overcoming long slabs of snow, and soft, they reached the summit of the mountain peak at 13 hours. After the celebration left a banner of his club Janajman, which in October celebrates 25 years of existence.

Nicholas From the summit could communicate with his cell phone. What a paradox!, From the same places, that five hundred years ago, and before Inca, Aymara, did the same to communicate with burning logs.

With Marce descended about 400 meters in a straight direction to San Miguel de Palermo. Then we should rise 170 to reach its summit. All in a distance of 2.6 km long also what we did two distant human silhouettes. Came from San Miguel and headed towards us. We met in the middle of the solitary journey. They were two young, one Chilean and English, having started early in San Miguel had climbed and ascended to the Hoygaard and the Liberator. We continue the steep climb the last 150 m. of San Miguel. Almost at the same time, just after 13 hours, coronábamos both groups at their second summit of the day.

Our position was S24, 56,563, o66, 20,797, and the height of 5,982 meters threw our GPS. From the summit could be seen throughout the valley pans, with their banks, its meadows and rocks. In the end it looked Cachi, and on the horizon, which mingled with the sky, they noticed the thread up the road that connects Cachi to Salta. Piraeus cited in the book could be seen as such, was turned into a hill where an old excelled rod, similar to that of the previous summit, although shorter, having been converted to cross tied with a rumpled cloth that appeared to have been a flag, another piece of rod. Next to him was another major pile of rocks. But the original figure mentioned by Vitry was unrecognizable. It's a shame and crime have no respect and care that construction archaeological beautiful form of drywall, which is repeated in many summits of our mountains. We leave proof and took pictures and then began the descent, we direct the amphitheater project. Nico and Michelle went down the camp and disarmed Hoygaard 4. Later we join both groups in the sharp decline that took us to the location of Camp 3 where spent the night.

Back

The next day we started the hike of over 12 km that separated us from our van. Just arrived, drank some, even cold cans of beer and a little later and rested, we improvised a chopped bread, smoked ham and cheese washed down with a bottle of champagne Millennium. After the start of the return to Salta.

What a small world, shortly after Cachi, during a brief stop at an inn, spa, we would find that Christian and a group headed for a research paper. That night there were the empanadas from Salta and the celebration at the club.
