Mark downclimbing on Chopicalqui

If my memory doesn't deceive me, right above this section, somewhere between 5400 and 5500m, I buried my last snow stake to make this descent a bit safer. You can't really see it, but there is a crevasse below Mark. This was my last alpine climb in the Cordillera Blanca, and I figured I wouldn't need it anymore, so why not put it to good use here, right? 18 August 2011.
