7 hr fairly robust hike. We decided not to do the rope bridge (a difficult variant) since it would have added another 4 hours and there were too many clouds to see anything once we got up that high. Also we wanted to save our legs because in 2 days we will be hiking with crampons in snow at about 2700 meters.
Sweat was dripping off of my hat brim. Hard on legs, heart and lungs.
My training can’t really compare to the steepness here but my endurance is quite good.
I had 9 pictures but internet is bad here
