Icefall of the Marmolejo Glacier

Looking up 2000 vertical meters from camp 1 at around 4100m to the summit of Marmolejo at 6108m. The route is via the prominent rocky hump in the right half of the picture. Except for its north side (easily climbed on scree at its right corner) this rocky hill is completely surrounded by the vast Marmolejo Glacier (penitentes!) with its spectacular icefall seen in the left half of the picture. 03/02/2010 10:09:15
