BIG climb. We're in the Andes! And we survived. There is a great little residencia right after the summit, so we didn't have to slog on to Yarumal - we never would have made it. Beautiful mountains, beautiful country. This climb is the "mountain prizë" in the Vuelta de Colombia, somebody told us. We won!
