Itinerary description
|
Harder day than the previous one, with more heat and hardly a shadow throughout the day. We leave Jhola at 6:30 and our most immediate objective is the Bardumal camp. Before reaching him, one of our colleagues heatstroke. Hoping to find a shadow in the camp, we see that it is in full sun. Sitting mattresses, spoons and dishes burn when touched. We eat, we hydrate and we keep going.
Throughout the tour we will go up the course of the Braldus river and we will be forced to touch water at various points. Direct glacier water that contrasts a lot with the heat. When we get to Paiju we are going to rest, because at night there will be a party. From this camp you can already see the moraine of the Baltoro glacier and the outstanding peaks of the entire area.
