Everyone woke up early today. I asked if I shall bring a belay device for rappel but Darwin said it was not needed during the climb, sounded strange, so I
asked two times extra to be sure. We started by walking and climbing on old wet and icy wood planks on a construction scaffold outside the cable car station,
not really optimal (high risk). After 100 meter following the sewer and waste drain pipe from the station we reached a...belay point! Ok, we don't need a belay device
according to Darwin since he belay us with a HMS every time (I had prefferred to do it my self). We followed the mountain side toward the lake Timoncitos,
the nice colored little lake. On the way we had nice view of the large
saddle/pass,
but the main summit is out of picture (to the left).
