Re: GREAT LABELS

Thank you Paulo :D!

It tried to describe the route the best I could with these landmarks.

I know this info will last very little since the glacier is moving constantly.

Re: Great...

You're welcome Christian. The route has changed a bit in the last couple months. I'll try to update it every now and then.

Re: Great...

Thanks Boriss!

I climbed twice this month, using two different routes:

The old route takes left soon after the ladder, and climbs in zigzags through the icefall, before reaching the 'steep' ridge.

The newest route is slightly longer, takes a right after the ladder and traverses west before it starts climbing, first in between two large walls with stalactites, then straight up a steep snow slope.

Both routes rejoin when reaching the ridge, from where a beautiful view on Yanasacha can be observed.

Both routes are still being used. There are some hidden crevasses on the new one, but it is sometimes preferred since a serac fell in the icefall about three weeks ago.

I have both GPS tracks if you are interested.

Nice photo!

Thanks for the photo!
This reminds me of when I first climbed the mountain in 2010, but I just got back from my second trip, and summitted, sadly the Ice Cave is gone!
