520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. The aim of the Cordillera Apolobamba '97 Expedition was to undertake explorative<br/>climbing on objectives that would provide new and first ascents. Due to the lack of<br/>activity in the Apolobamba until the late ’80s the potential for new routes in this<br/>region is extensive and accessible to mountaineers of moderate and advanced<br/>technical ability alike. Additionally, the weather between June and September is very<br/>stable resulting in the inevitability of achieving a great deal and not returning home<br/>disappointed.<br/>During the four weeks spent in Bolivia this Expedition scored up a total of 6<br/>previously unclimbed summits, a new British route and finished with a 48hr round trip<br/>ascent of Bolivia's best known mountain, Illimani (6402m). Nothing climbed on this<br/>Expedition exceeded the Alpine grade of AD which is a tribute to the potential for<br/>lower grade climbers in the area. The ascent of Illimani is not described in the report<br/>(any guide to mountaineering in Bolivia worth its salt details the normal ascent),<br/>however, the financial report includes expenses incurred to climb the mountain. In<br/>addition to the climbing objectives a basic survey was carried out of the valley in<br/>which we were based and a number of items of equipment were tested on behalf of<br/>our sponsors.<br/>In writing this report I have tried to keep it concise and incorporate the most relevant<br/>information. It is probably best not to read the report cover to cover for fear of the<br/>potential Andean climber being tied up in the technical reports written for our<br/>sponsors and vice versa. As a form of reference, however, I hope it proves to be of<br/>great value for everyone and anyone who picks it up.
