Itinerary description
|
The ascent begins at dawn, by broken ground climbing a hill to enter the valley that leads to the glacier that is on the east slope of the mountain. We cross the glacier still at night, and the first rays of the sun give us when we are climbing the east face. The path, not very technical, but through very decomposed terrain leads to the south ridge, from where it turns to the right. The road continues through rocky and up to 35º slope until reaching the top, at 6153 meters. In summer you have to tread very little snow to reach the top, and in general it is an easy climb that requires adequate acclimatization. The time of the route (12 hours) is exaggerated because I spent enough time at the top enjoying the moment and photographing the companions who were climbing. The return is made by the same route to the base camp.
