Nature is so powerful, this hike was very challenging, mystic, bonding & empowering.

We went through 4 different ecosystems wearing pretty much the same clothes.

I will remember forever this weekend with a big smile on my face 🫶🏼

Hiked Chirripo this past weekend.

Hardest physical thing I’ve done in years. None of us were prepared as you can see by our suffering faces and lack of clothing.

So glad we can just look at this and laugh now.

Day 1 we hiked 14 km up to base camp which is 11000 feet or so. Left at 6am and arrived around 3pm. I didn’t sleep at all due to the altitude/minor anxiety about the next day knowing how cold I’d be.

Day 2 we all left at 3am for the peak. This might’ve been the coldest I’ve ever been with the wind and light rain. It was a 5km hike to the peak. We were met with no view at all.

We hiked back down in the freezing dawn (at least with proper light)

Then we had a hot chocolate or 3 at basecamp and headed down to the bottom. Which was somehow harder.

So happy to look back and laugh at this. It’s so incredibly bonding to do hard things with people. Shoutout to the squad. laurabaroni (npub155c…dfkh) absolutely blew my mind since she was sick the days prior but still se t it. beauwinn (npub18q2…7j7z) shannenmichaela (npub1srm…q0ge) niall (npub1qwr…2hyu) & npub18e3fa2qq2kgt0n0xrq9kv874v6mpte9pgemenvaw9tmwkrmkv52qgpr7cu (npub18e3…r7cu) who organized it all. @ (jimmy will be here soon and so will Anton)

I’m doing this again (but will be prepared.)

Pura vida.
