Day 17: Cayame, 19,000 ft (exactly). The highest I had ever been. The peak was no gimmie, with the glacier truly going on for hours. 7 hours from bottom to top with 4k elevation gain. Luckily due to our speed we got to start at 2am, which was "late"; a lot of teams started at 11pm, one even at 10:30.I had, and continue to have, boot/feet problems. This time I got blisters on my toe knuckles. Honestly the constant boots issues have been the most challenging part of this whole trip. Does anyone else have this problem?The mountains are starting to look and feel like mountains you watch on film and hear about. Long, steep glaciers; cravssse dangers. This one even had ice falls!(see the last pic).This marks peak 7 of 9 for me. I think I'm going to make a film about my adventure called "9 peaks"
