Climbing the Cerro de las Tres Cruces and Santiago de Cali

Okay, so I've talked a lot about my climbs lately; I've done a few. I headed over to Santiago de Cali, Colombia (usually just referred to as 'Cali') this past weekend, and since they also have a lot of mountains in the area, I decided to pick one with a very scenic view to climb. I chose the "Cerro de las Tres Cruces" (which means the Hill of the Three Crosses). Oh boy, where do I start?

Progress on El Cerro de Monserrate Climb

If you've read my Monserrate posts, you'd remember that I climbed the 10,000 ft elevation in Bogota, Colombia a couple of times, and I seem to be doing better and better. My time has gone from about 50 minutes to about 48, and now the 3rd time, I'm at about 42 minutes. Yay! I love progress.

Climbing the Monserrate for the First Time

So, I'm currently in Bogota (that's in Colombia for the geographically challenged :)), and as you can imagine, I've been spending a lot of time doing physical activity. It is a tad difficult out here because of the altitude of the city, so it's easy to get that heavy air pressure feeling in your head, your ears, and even your chest while working out. But I'm doing this anyway.
