  • @ozthunder
    @ozthunder Год назад +1

    Found this very interesting but for a reason most would not. My YT user name gives a hint. When i saw the flash of lightning in the back ground near beginning of video my interest grew. I did not not where in Peru this Potosi Mountain was? but I do know that thunderstorm activity on the Altiplano, Lake Titicaca and La Paz peaks in late afternoon / early evening, not dawn. Later in video when sun came out you could see the storms to the east, but clear over you and west. So I assumed that Potosi must be right on eastern edge of high Andes. I could be wrong but it seems that cold plateau / Mountain air funnels down the valleys east of the peaks and lifts the warmer lower eastern slopes air into storms.

    • @NextMeridianExpedition
      @NextMeridianExpedition  Год назад +1

      Love it MR Thunder! Good pick! I actually discuss it on the way up with the guide and it is super interesting but was too tired to film it hahahaha. I know nothing of Thunder but saw this giant cloud like a tower and lightings far away on the east of the mountain chain. And I asked the guide: tell me this is not going on us right? And he said: no worries. This is above the Amazonia. It is insane how the high plateau acts as a weather frontier between the dry west and the rain forest on the other side. You would know the details better but that is the context hahahah

    OMG. Wow. This is beyond anything I have ever attempted to do. I kept wondering, how heavy were the backpacks and how much water did you have with you? One advantage (I am sure you planned it this way) is that you already had been pretty well acclimated to the high altitude from spending time in the Peruvian Andes. I suspect that some of the folks who encountered difficulty may not have spent as much time at altitude. What an incredible feat!

    • @NextMeridianExpedition
      @NextMeridianExpedition  8 месяцев назад +1

      for the final ascent we add maybe 2 liters each. It is long but we did not loose much water with the cold. also water was freezing in the bottles. You are completely right we were really well acclimated compared to others. it definitely played in our favour.
