Team USA-Austria-Norway

We were lucky to meet up with such great people on the traverse. We were the only ones doing the traverse during these few days so by the time day three started we had all met. By the end of day four, we were good friends.

Among the group of traverse trekkers was Team Norway - two Norweigan girls and an Austrian guy, who lives in Norway. These three actually met only days before and decided to do the traverse together.

Then there was the U.S. couple, who are
teaching in Buenos Aires and escaped
the bustle of the big city for a few days
to take on the traverse.
