Itinerary description
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE DIFFICULTY WITH WHICH I CATALOG MY ROUTES IS REFERRED TO MOUNTAINEERS USED TO WALKING, WHO WORK WITH EASY OVER ALL TERRAINS, NOT FOR OCCASIONAL HIKERS. IF YOU HAVE LITTLE EXPERIENCE, ADD ONE MORE DEGREE TO THE DIFFICULTY OF MY ROUTES SO YOU DON'T GET SURPRISES.
Spectacular stage through the upper section of the Baltoro Glacier, from Camp Gore II to Concordia, in the heart of Karakorum. This last camp is a true crossroads (glaciers) between immense mountainous masses (it is not for nothing that it has some of the highest peaks on earth around it).
Unfortunately we had another very closed day in which it was snowing for most of the day, which prevented us from enjoying the spectacular views that we could have had. In any case, this upper section of the glacier becomes more attractive and interesting as we gain height.
We would do two nights to better acclimatize in Concordia. This day that we used as a rest, in which we had sunny weather, meant that later the weather would worsen again and this last factor prevented us from passing through Gondogoro-La (actually, those who could not pass due to lack of adequate equipment would be the porters) and we had to turn around to retrace all that we had walked on the way out.
We took advantage of the rest day to go on a short excursion to explore this stretch of glacier, which is truly spectacular, and in the afternoon we practiced ice climbing.
