Until you've driven through a river riddled with quicksand, changed a tire at 4,500 meters altitude, bivouacked overnight in -5°C cold, or worn a helmet for 10 hours straight, you haven't truly grasped what it means to be an Andean Rose.
But why push yourself like this? Why commit to so many grueling events instead of relaxing at home on the sofa?
The 110 Roses I share my days with each have their own compelling story and drive to conquer Argentina's Andean peaks.
Whether battling breast cancer, honoring a parent or spouse, or simply proving their own limits, these women are turning life's challenges into triumphs right here in the mountains.
Spending time with them leaves me in awe of their resilience and spirit.
Like Jacques Martin back in the day, I want to cheer every single one to victory!
