First, we needed some training with ice climbing, using an ice pick and the cramp-ons.
Our base hut was located on a reservoir - nice views.
We left the second hut at 1:30 am to make the summit by sunrise.
We made it! And the views are like from a movie.
If you think the climb down looks steep, imagine the climb up.
Lots of snow & ice and a view of another mountain, Illimani (a lot taller and no, Ray is not climbing that one)
