Itinerary description
|
Today we will reach the Goro II camp, making a stop at Goro I.
The day begins rainy, and will continue like this for most of the way. The sky will not allow us to see very high, and we will miss the opportunity to see the Masherbrum, among many other peaks. We will see in passing the glaciers of Mandu, Muztagh and Yermanendu.
After a while after leaving Urdukas, over 4100m, I start to feel dizzy. High things. The highest level I had reached so far was the Toubkal, at 4167m, and at about this height I start to feel bad. Coincidence? Although it should be said that the Toubkal is further south, so here the effect is more noticeable.
We share the way with a Chinese group that accompanies us from Paiju. Halfway there we make a stop at the Goro I camp, where we eat and hydrate well. Thanks to this, after a while I started to feel better, but I was about 3 hours with the discomfort.
Without much more to add, we arrived at Goro II at noon with a little better time.
* That booth in the video that we did not know its usefulness is actually a bathroom with a shower that the Chinese had hired.
