CLIMB: From Base Camp, we ascend rocky ribs and short ice walls to reach Camp 1 at 5,550m. We slowly make our way up, the scraping bumpers hiding beneath on this beaten path with incredible views of the surrounding peaks keeping us distracted. Camp 1 is on firm snow.
Camp 2: (6,100 m) difficult climb as it is steeper than the previous one. As an alternative, and at the risk of taking a longer route, I suggest we pick carefully through rocks and ice. Camp 2 -- a garden with view of the glaciers, as well as valleys carved by wind.
Camp 3 (6,400 m): this last camp on old snowfields before the summit. These orange-pink colors at dusk make for incredibly beautiful pit stops. As we pack our equipment and get ready for the last push, to see what will happen to the weather.
