Climbing
I wish I had taken more pictures of this to better capture the amount of work involved in climbing up to the refuge at top.
It was so steep, and the ashy ground so loose, and the elevation so high (4800 meters at the refuge) that I was out of breath after ever few steps. We probably only hiked for about a half of a mile, but it was straight uphill and took us one and a half hours.
