The Quest for C1 Begins

Endless walking among stones, ice and icy labyrinths is here


We were off for the so called deposit camp or deposit place where some of our equipment had been stored few days ago. It means walking with a heavy backpack endlessly up and down, up and down, here over an icy hilltop and then through a field of stones where an avalanche thundered down the slope. All of that for about 5 - 7 hours. Jan and Jiri went there few days ago but still the way seemed to have no end. Since both of them spent in the area altogether two days, which also helped them to acclimatize, they walked on fine. I was doing alright as well, the only difference being my 20 kg heavy backpack.
