  • At the base, we met Leo, one of many friends on the trail. <br /> <br /> (Because of craziness with color profiles, this photo viewed best (as of 2012/12/29) on IE9+ (no, seriously). Otherwise, you may not get all the colors.)

  • It's a long way down...
  • Our campsite had a platform for our tent. We were impressed--it's a long trek in!
  • Afternoon with overcast skies.

  • Morcella!
  • 3PM. Little did we know, we still had 8 hours to go...

  • At one point, we crossed a river and lost sight of the trail. Looking upstream, we saw a bridge about half a mile away, with bright orange posts marking our route!
  • It took us 45 minutes of scaling boulders (with packs) and two deep-water crossings to reach the bridge, but we finally made it!
  • But after getting to the other side of the bridge, we realized there wasn't a trail... It's a trap! Apparently the bridge was part of a new route still under construction. It took us another 30 minutes to get down, by which time it was already 8PM.
  • 10PM. Luckily for us, the sun was just starting to set, because we still had a long way to go... <br /> <br /> (Because of craziness with color profiles, this photo viewed best (as of 2012/12/29) on IE9+ (no, seriously). Otherwise, you may not get all the colors.)
  • We finally reached campsite at 11:30PM, where we promptly rented the last campsite still available for the night. This is the view we awoke to the next morning.

  • Since we were next to a glacier lake, the obvious thing to do was to just jump in. It was freezing.<br /> <br /> (Because of craziness with color profiles, this photo viewed best (as of 2012/12/29) on IE9+ (no, seriously). Otherwise, you may not get all the colors.)
  • Rob, from South Africa, was persuaded to jump in only after we gave him the glacier lake swimming world cup scores: Mexico: 1; USA: 2; South Africa: 1.<br /> <br /> (Because of craziness with color profiles, this photo viewed best (as of 2012/12/29) on IE9+ (no, seriously).
