Big crevasse, small pack ...

This is on the northwest ridge of Tocllaraju. See that pack in the distance? A few minutes ago, I was standing on the other side of the crevasse, thinking about jumping it. I had already tossed my backpack to the other side, so I would be more agile (and a bit lighter), but while I was considering the jump, Jaymie saw a snow bridge in the distance, so we decided to check that out first. It turned out to be a much safer crossing. Jaymie crossing the snow bridge 1 July 2011.
