Machu Picchu to Pitumarca | Endless Limestone || Cold House Media Vlog 52

So in the last vlog, I arrived to Peru, to Cusco, and Coco and Charlotte picked me up and we met up with O'Reilly. O'Reilly? O'Reilly? O'Reilly. We met up with O'Reilly and we went to Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu. Yeah, we rented a car in Cusco and we drove to Machu Picchu and we stopped at a couple little villages to check out all the different things you can buy there, like hats and sweaters Carpets, blankets, everything and yeah we probably spent like six US dollars there. Now we drove through all these towns and we bought a bunch of cool little souvenirs and gifts that will remind us of Peru forever. We stopped at a little rest area on a pass, a mountain pass and we went for a little hike in the fog. It was really pretty and then we watched an old lady and her grandson eat lunch as we ate lunch. Guinea pig's a big meal here, I don't know if you knew that, but in Peru they put guinea pigs on sticks and they cook them and then you eat them. And as we continued our path to Machu Picchu, we found that it was quite an epic road, not a road for a mother to be on, but we managed to make it through without throwing up or anything like that. And yeah, we finally stepped foot into the sacred grounds of Machu Picchu. We're on top of the Machu Picchu mountain, where there is a wonderful view on the Machu Picchu. Yes, wonderful. But not today. I think I've seen this view before. That's Orly finishing the hike. What the hell did we do? We walked around with like 1,000 other tourists, actually to be exact 2,500 other tourists, was a weird experience because you're in this place that's it's just total wilderness up in the mountains but yet there's like 2500 people also with you after about two weeks for me of sightseeing in Peru I'm so excited to finally do some rock climbing and here we are in Pitumarca it's a tiny town located two hours from Cusco we spent our first two days climbing around touring around with our friend Coco from 7A Escuela de Escalada. We climbed some very beautiful slabs there on a very smooth grey rock with some which reminded me of the Verdun Gorge. Then we climbed on some very beautiful double tufa form of route which is called Cocodrillo. This again, that makes me so happy. and we also got our pump on on the 8a plus called um Mas Duro, Kimi, Pola, Charlotte, tell us how you feel right now. I feel overwhelmed, amazed, happy, I can't find the word, but this place is amazing and knew it was gonna be good but i didn't think it was gonna be that good and that much, so we'll be busy, we may have to stay longer. What do you think Josh? We're gonna cancel Alaska? It's funny, we were like, oh, should we cancel Alaska? Should we not, and then we got a text from one of the locals up in Alaska, basically saying like, we just got a ton of snow, it's going to be tough for you guys to climb here, and Charlotte and i looked at each other, we said all right, time to cancel Alaska, which i think is a good decision because after climbing a couple days and walking around and up and down the two sides of the valley we're just like all right there is a lot of climbing and there is a huge amount of developing and we're psyched for it so we're gonna spend about five weeks here and i think that's not gonna be enough so much rock, now we're heading to the other side of the canyon check out a lot of things, yeah it has a good little sting to it, oh okay, i think we found the best, at least my favorite wall right here and then there just found a cool little hut, like actually little and actually a hut, we're on number one, we are now at the top of the beautiful iconic prow that just kind of hangs over the valley from one angle this tower this like overhanging arete it kind of reminds me of Predator from Rummy it looks like a sheep face and also there's a ton of sheep everywhere so it kind of works out but we're dubbing it like the sheep face or sheaping beauty or holy sheep, sheepy hollow We are happy because after two months we are finally taking the bolting stuff out Oh and I upgraded my bolting situation with a new comfy harness. It's the cylinder First bolt is about to be put. we are working out the lines figuring out where to put the bolts we are starting to sleep right now thunder is still echoing in the canyon we're making our way to a little hut yes there's a first for everything and today is our first time running to a man-made ancient shelter Thanks again for following, this is vlog 52 now and again you can follow us on epictv.com, you can follow us on our website at aworldlesstravel.com, you can also check out some of our destination films on Coldhouse Media vimeo channel and other than that we're stoked to stay here for five weeks in one place and bolt the hell out of the valley.
