Itinerary description
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE DIFFICULTY WITH WHICH I CATALOG MY ROUTES IS REFERRED TO MOUNTAINS USED TO WALK, WHO UNWIND WITH FACE ON ALL THE LAND, NOT FOR OCCASIONAL HIKERS. IF YOU HAVE LITTLE EXPERIENCE, ADD ONE MORE DEGREE TO THE DIFFICULTY OF MY ROUTES SO YOU WILL NOT GET SURPRISES
Fifth stage of our trek through the Baltoro Glacier from Urdukas Camp to Gore II. The whole day's journey will travel (unlike the previous stage) inside the glacier. This section becomes more alpine, a kind of giant penitents begin to appear and the ice is more evident than in previous days. There is also more abundance of lagoons on the ice of the glacier. The route of the day does not have great slopes and in general it is less up and down than the first stages when we begin to walk on the Baltoro. You have to do a little jump to wade a stretch of river on the ice. The day in general stays sunny and the views are simply impressive, having for example the great Masherbrum on our side in the early hours and then several of the Gasherbrums (especially the IV pyramid) and the Broad Peak presiding over the almost infinite glacier above the one we walk. At the last minute enough clouds come in and the day closes when we arrive at Camp Gore II, where we will spend a frigid night, since this camping area is directly on the ice mass, not on one side of it like other days.
