"Today we climbed The 1st and 2nd highest peak in Costa Rica. We were super lucky with the weather! It was raining all afternoon and evening but when we woke up at 3am, rain stopped. On the way to the high peak Chirripo, lightning were happening all around us but not close to us haha what a luck.
Beautiful sunrise and views at 3800m. On the way back we decided to go for the 2nd highest which was shorter but steeper with no one on top.
Great day with Olivier Vasquez Rojas" — nandorszotak • May 24, 2022

"We decided with Oli to climb Costa Rica’s tallest peak Chirripó.
First day today we had a 9 mile climb with 6k ft of elevation gain to the so cAlled Crestones Basecamp. Everyone suggested to start early to avoid rain so at 4:30am we were on the way. But we arrived early so decided to add an extra loop to make the day more fun. We climbed another 2 12k peaks and still made it back to lunch at 1:30pm. Great day!" — nandorszotak • May 23, 2022

"Hiked from San Jerónimo up to the lodge on Saturday. Go up and stay right — you'll get there. Stayed in the shelter near the top Saturday night and got up early Sunday morning to summit and explore the top. Ran/hiked back down after breakfast." — shawnpendergrass • Jul 12, 2015
