Day 86: Longest day

Waking up at 4000 meters. Feeling like a hangover with weights on all limbs. Outside it is 1°C with terible wind. We feel like just laying down wait for somebody to rescue us. Somehow we found the motivation to make breakfast ( it took ages for the wayer to boil) and pack our stuff. It would take us around 5 hours to make the 22 km to the top. Stopping at every couple houndred meters to catch our breath. As soon as the grade got more than the standard we had to push. And even pushing made is loose our breath. There is just not enough oxygen here. Getting to the top was surreal. Nobody there and terible wind. We couldn't quite believe we made it because we tought about quiting ao many times. we quickly put on all the clothes we had to get as much down as possible. At the end of the day we could sleep at the police station at 3000 meters. This was definitely the hardest and longest day on the bike and maybe even of our lives.Read more
