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

On our rest day to better acclimatize at the Paiju Camp (at the foot of the homonymous peak) we took a short walk in the afternoon (the weather was already changing and a rain fell on us) to walk towards the Baltoro Glacier (our next objective ) along the path that goes over the main valley of the Braldu river. We cross several dry ravines that fall to the left until we reach a stream that goes down quite lively for the afternoon time that it is. Here it begins to rain with a certain joy threatening to sink in well, so we gave up continuing (we already had the dark front of the glacier in sight and I wanted to also get closer to see the Trango Towers) and we turned around the way we had come. Of course, the views of the Cathedral Peaks were impressive (since the next day we would not see anything with the very closed day we had).
