Subject: RE: Machu PicchuYour pictures are awesome, Boilermaker..really some of the best I've seen. I had pretty much the same itinerary back in '04 but I have long since forgotten the names of the ruins we visited beside MP. We did climb a ladder setup just like the one you have pictured but I don't remember it being quite that long. Our group was only three and there were at least half a dozen porters carrying, by their standards, relatively light loads. My pack was around 40lbs (so they told me ), and getting it to the top of DWP seemed like a nice accomplishment until I saw other porters from other groups RUNNING up to the top. Pretty humbling for a newbie triathlete... |
