“Four friends travel to the Bolivian Andes, looking for a snowboard adventure in the remote Apolobamba range. But things don’t always go as planned. “Una llama menos” is a story about set backs, disappointment and tricky conditions, but also about adapting, changing plans, finding some steep high altitude descents and having the trip of a lifetime!
About the riders:
Greg O’Callaghan is a Chamonix based American Spaniard with roots in the Netherlands. His positivity, endless motivation and native Spanish skills turned out to be essential on this trip.
Mirte van Dijk, journalist, photographer and allround adventurer. After not getting acclimatised and struggling with altitude sickness for two weeks, the doctors finally told her she had to return home. Greatly missed by the rest of the group.
Rens de Wild, snowboard guide and the only one actually starting from (below) sea level. Climbing his way up to over 6000m on perserverance, character, and some good tunes.
Stephan Verheij, was a snowboard guide and initiator of the trip. Lived in Austria, he tried to spend as much time as he could in the mountains and always had a plan ready for a next adventure.
Died in an avalanche in Austria November 9 2019.
