Palcaraju (6274m) from Tocclaraju

Now that's a glacier! Great to look at, horrible to cross. Not that I have any intention to do that. To put it all in perspective: I'm on top of Tocllaraju (6034m), and it's an 800 m drop to the glacier below my feet. And even if I were down there, it's more than a 1000 m up again to climb Palcaraju! Now, I'll admit I'd like to climb it, but I'm not suicidal. If I ever try, I want a less dangerous route. 1 July 2011.
