My reply is: Yes it exists. There were two separate articles written in local Arequipa newspapers about my successful climb of El Misti by bicycle. Both newspapers are documented in Wikipedia in Spanish. The first article "¡Subieron al Misti en Bicicleta!" was published in El Comercio https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Comercio_(Per%C3%BA) The second article "Gringos suben el Misti en Bicicleta" was published in El Pueblo https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Pueblo_(Arequipa) tried to upload both articles as proof to the Wiki police but unfortunately, Wiki rules do not permit me from uploading material for which I do not own a copyright. The articles were written because it was the first and perhaps the only time a cyclist had successfully carried a bicycle to the summit of the 19,000 Volcano to ride down. This occurred on July 9 1988. If you provide an email address I would gladly send you the two articles from Arequipa. Terrybpowers
