DAY 12 19/05/2015 FIRST ATTEMPT TO GREAT GLACIER, ABORTED.

Woke up at 03.00 this morning in order to have colder conditions. It means hard snow, less avalanches and risk of ice falls reduced. So we speeded up our way hoping to reach the start point of our way down. We got there at 06.30 am. Once upon there, we decided not to attempt the descent at this place.
 

 
Too dangerous! So we turned back. However, we have seen a possible way down in the far distance. We took a chance to go there and have a look. Finally we arrived at 16.00 on the top of the col leading to the potential route. We scouted it and it looked good.Tomorrow !
