Shortly after the tower we approach the second intersection which leads to the arrow glacier at an altitude of 16,000ft. There after we descend to barranco hut at altitude 13,000ft, where we will spend overnight. The day offers amazing scenery and ends up at almost the same altitude as when we started which provide the best acclimatization opportunity
Today we will proceed to acclimatize, in preparation for an upcoming summit push. We will hike the intimidating barranco wall, and from the top we go on a wavering sequence of ridges and valleys before arrival at karanga camp. This is short day to allow enough acclimatization chance.
