Itinerary description
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE DIFFICULTY WITH WHICH I CATALOG MY ROUTES IS REFERRED TO MOUNTAINS USED TO WALK, WHO UNWIND THEMSELVES ON EVERY 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS AN ALPINISM OR MOUNTAINING ROUTE, NOT HIKING!
Another very closed day dawns in which it snows practically the entire stage. This, apart from taking away much of the beauty of the day by not being able to just see the impressive peaks that surround us and making the temperature and comfort in general much more limited, makes us fear the worst with respect to the Gondogoro pass. -La, since we have been notified in the trek agency with which we go that if the pass is with recent snow fall and the porters cannot pass, neither can we and we will have to turn around.
It is a short stage in length and low in unevenness in which we walk all the time through the Vigne Glacier, which faces south from the Concordia Camp. The glacier is somewhat monotonous and has some crevasses (not very big) that you have to jump over. I particularly go quite regular since I feel the height and I am quite "drunk" and sleepy, but I am already done to these struggles and I am calm and dosing without haste. When we arrive at Ali Camp, we eat something and soon we go into the tents to try to sleep, since in theory we are going to get up well before 12 at night to pass the step. I hardly sleep, my head seems like it's going to explode.

Una etapa increíble
Una etapa realmente espectacular, aunque a mí se me hizo dura por la altura.
Un abrazo grande y gracias por la valoración Paco!
