Ojos Day 7 - Campamento El Muerto - 5080m

Time to leave the Laguna Verde. Serious things are to begin: if all goes according to plan, we will not descend below 5000m in the next 6 days, and climb two big 6000m.
The target in its glory. Impressive.
The base camp of El Muerto is located at the base of El Muerto, not very far (5km) from the base camp of Ojos del Salado. It takes about 1h to reach the Muerto base camp from the Laguna Verde.
Our faithful vehicle, riding cool above 5000m. Ojos del Salado in the background.

The proof.

Grrrrrrrrr...

Cold. Biting sun. Lack of oxygen. What else?

Even on glorious enterprises, you do not escape from mundane tasks.

A lot of nothing. The rocks are solidified lava blocks from an El Muerto eruption.
