Tough going..
I'm going up this moderate slope
on wet snow nex to the Irik Glacier.
I set out about half an hour ago
from about 3500 meters
and the goal today is
at around 4500 meters.
In addtition to my heave rucksack
i've got the group's tent
And of course my personal gear.
so it weighs over 20 kilos for sure..
and there's a little less oxygen here
than at home and therefore it's pretty hard..
And, there's this gravel slope coming up
It's damn steep
There you can see the summit
it's at just under 3700 meters
We need to go over it..
and then descend to the glacier.
About an hour later...
So this is what fun it's like.
Mountaineering..
Mountaineering..
Not so much to go anymore
Just to on top of that..
That means about one and half hours.
