Base of the Torres Trek

Made it! 24km of trekking up the mountain, through a forest, with huge gusts of winds, snow, slush, boulders, mud, you name it. Luckily we didn’t have any rain. Hands down the most difficult hike I have ever done... 🍂🏔

We started from Ecocamp at 8am amd finished back at the domes at 5:30pm. Not bad timing considering! Thank god for the hiking sticks. The last 1km clambering up rocks was a killer. For me at least! We had a couple with us who were American and another Australian who was called Colin. Our guide was Vartan who set us on a good pace. He was great - nice and new a lot about the flora.

When we finally made it to the top, the view was absolutely worth it. Those towers rise up another 2000m in front of us. It was windy up there but clear with quite a bit of snow.

What a day. Will never forget it 😁🏔👊🏻Read more
