Alone, I left the warmth of my sleeping bag at 1am and walked, climbed, stumbled through the night. Just after sunrise I reached the summit of Nevado Pisco high in the Peruvian Andes. I somehow found the strength to take this self-portrait capturing the final steps to the summit. A truly overwhelming moment and experience in the most beautiful place I have ever seen.
