@ the Bergschrund of Alpamayo: The exertions of the 3-day walk in and the epic 15 hours on Quitaraju yesterday left their traces: At the second pitch above the Bergschrund (~5700m) the weather turned into whiteout with heavy snowfall. My gloves were frozen and I was close to exhaustion.
Not wanting to run the risk of being stuck at Col Camp for days due to avalanche danger without enough gas to melt drinking water we made the hard, very hard decision to leave Alpamayo for the future and get down to Base Camp as quick as possible.
