Hiking through the camp with Cerro La Junta in the background (Jan. 2015).

Valle Cochamo as seen from the base of Apnea route…morning fog rolling through (Jan. 2015).

Leading pitch 1 of Apnea (10b). Are we in Squamish?

Shirley enjoying the first pitch of Apnea (Jan. 2015).

Pitch 1.

Looking up into the Anfiteatro from Apnea…waterfall spray is frozen (Jan. 2015).

Very fun crack climbing (Jan. 2015).

Pitch 2 of Apnea (Jan. 2015).

The start of splitter fingers/tips on pitch 2 of Apnea (Jan. 2015).

5.9 tips near the top of pitch 2 of Apnea (Jan. 2015).

Shirley starting pitch 2 of Apnea (Jan. 2015).

Pitch 2 – look at that splitter thin crack (Jan. 2015).

OK, one more. Shirley topping out on Apnea (Jan. 2015).

The short jungle descent from Apnea (Jan. 2015).

The hike to Valle Trinidad starts with another river crossing (Jan. 2015).

At the start of the hike up to Valle Trinidad (Jan. 2015).

The hike follows a trail hacked out of the thick bamboo growth…apparently the first climb on Trinidad involved British climbers hacking & macheteing their way into the valley (Jan. 2015).

Eventually the thick bamboo gives way to a nice forest (Jan. 2015).

Shirley on the 2+ hour hike up to Valle Trinidad (Jan. 2015).

Seems the only wildlife we saw were these lizards and birds, including some huge condors (Jan. 2015).

Valle Trinidad.

Cerro Trinidad from the base and our camp. Bienvenidos a mi Insomnio (5.11-, 20 pitches) starts up the leftmost arch. First ~12ish pitches are visible in this shot (Jan. 2015).

Tabano (full Latin name is Chingo Tabano I believe). No mosquitos but there were always at least 2 of these little fuckers buzzing around your face at all times (Jan. 2015).

We entertained ourselves the evening before the climb by killing tabanos and feeding them to the lizard god…offerings in hope of a good climb the next day (it worked!).
