We sort out donkeys in Musho

Walking towards Huascaran

We pitched tents near "Don Bosco Huascaran" at 4670m

Cooking supper

Day 2

Janet wanted to go to the 1st glacier campsite

Putting on crampons before walking on the glacier

Porters carry equipment for a German expedition

It's hard work!

The sun is unforgiving during the day. After all, it's very close to the equator

In 1970 during an earthquake a chunk of ice broke from Huascaran and buried over 20,000 people in Yungay

Campsite at 5200m

Stefan and I started at 10pm

At 11am we reached the summit of Huascaran Sur 6768m, the highest mountain in Peru

View from Huascaran

On the way back

We didn't see this when climbing up at night

A steep section

Stefan is jumping the crevasse where I lost my torch

Huge seracs

We were back in our tents after 20 hours of hard work

Back in Musho, where life goes on undisturbed
