Itinerary description
|
Today is one of the most anticipated days since if we are lucky we will see the K2.
It has rained during the night, but in the morning we have a slight truce when we start walking. We continue climbing the Baltoro glacier, surrounding large blocks of ice that protrude from the ground, and today we will not be able to enjoy much of the landscape as we continue to be covered in clouds, although with exceptions such as:
Miter Peak
Biarchedi Glacier
Nuating Glacier
Already around noon we begin to see the Concordia Base Camp, when to our left, at the bottom of a valley, we finally see the south wall of K2.
We reached Concordia, already at about 4600m (almost the height of Montblanc) and the rain continues to give war. This is the last camp where pack animals climb. In return, Ibrahim enters the dining room where we were playing cards, and warns us that the sky has cleared and we finally see the entire K2, along with the Broad Peak that accompanies it.
K2 / CHOGORI 8611.
BROAD PEAK / FALCHAN KANGRI 8051.
