After food and fuel began to dwindle while waiting for the storm to pass, Jamie begins the arduous task of crossing the snow covered morraines at about 16,000ft.

Jamie resting at 15,000, appreciates our goal in the next few days.

Comming back down from Pisco, the conditions where ugly, but gve us chances to take good pictures...

Going up on Pisco... in the snow. Conditions where'nt very good, but hell, that's life in the mountains, right?

Heading up to the summit on Pisco. In the distance you can see two groups of climbers. In the far distance, on the right side, you can see some climbers at the top of the single pitch of 60 degree ice heading up to the summit.
