Ridges near the top

As we continued to climb the views got more and more amazing. We could see further and further away. It was a panoramic view of the valleys around. The last stretch of the climb was among stones and rocks and quite slippery. The track till this place had been a thick layer of sand and dust and with each step a cloud of dust would fly around and it was hard to walk less than 15 mts behind each other. But once the rocks started, the dust wasn't the main problem, the grip was. We reached a ridge very near the peaks around 3:30 pm, almost 3 hours after we started. This wasn't the final ridge. We couldn't even see the lake below. Then it was a slight climb to the 2nd ridge. From here, we could see a bit of the Laguna Castillo. There were no clouds around the granite peaks of the Cerro Castillo.Read more
