私の登頂を祝ってくれる親友たち。
My best friends congratulating me on my climb.
一人で何ができるのか。

What can I do by myself?
That’s what I went to find out, and climbed the summit alone.
My solo trip to South America, where I could not speak a word of English , was a journey that brought me into contact with the kindness of cheerful people.
The many Amigo I met on the other side of the world are the assets of this trip.
