Look at this amazing new platform they are building... close for us though.. continue on.
Another Amazing pano... click these to see them big.
How big are the tips of the peaks? Here are some people for scale. How cold it is up there? Well, if you are in the sun, it's too hot.. take off as much as you can. A lot of the guys went topless for photos and to beat the heat. In the shade, put on the safety coat (people on the right are wearing them).
A first-aid/safety hut
Looking back down at the wire cart station.
Looking across the glacier. This mountain is limestone, which is pretty soft. Glaciers cut through it like geologic butter.
ME!
Me taking pics with my iphone (no reception )
My companion, Jing, who I left behind on the platform, catches up to me, somehow still has it in her to pose for modeling shots.
