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!
