Llullaillaco Day 2 - walk up to 5100m

I wake up surrounded by glory. Llullaillaco, at 6739 meters above sea level, stands in its majesty....and snow! Courtesy of the invierno altiplanico, the Bolivian winter. It is summer here, but snowfalls are a likely possibility. We have been well snowed upon on Ojos del Salado, to the point that the guide was doubting our climb. To my suggestion to change course and try Llullaillaco if Ojos was too bad, he answered: "Llullaillaco is worse, because it is closer to Bolivia."

Head and shoulders above the rest. A truly magnificent mountain.
