Illimani Pico Sur (6.439 m) seen from Illimani high camp (app. 5.500 m).
If you enlarge the picture, you can nicely recognize the steps on the ridge in the foreground and the visible tracks down to the left from the summit, leading to the 50° steep crux section of the normal route to Pico Sur at app. 6.200 m.
