Day 10 - "Touching The Void" Day Trip

30 Jun 2007

Our campsite in the Sarapococha valley was the base for a day trip up to Laguna Sarapococha and the Yerupajá glacier. Kendy and I climbed a nearby peak reaching an altitude of 5152m, for tremendous views of the Yerupajá glacier, Siula Grande, and the route of the Touching the Void saga.

		Laguna Sarapococha and the Yerupajá glacier.
		The Yerupajá glacier.
		Kendy and I climbed to the rim of the valley at 5152m for great views.
		From our vantage point on the valley rim we gained excellent views of the Yerupajá glacier and the route of that ill fated mountaineering expedition.
