Barranco (3950 meters) to top of Barranco Wall (4200 meters)

 March 13, 2006

Still not eating or sleeping. Today we climb Barranco Wall, almost 900 feet straight up. At one spot, the "kissing point", the ledge is only 8 inches wide and if you are not "kissing" the wall you mightl fall off. Camp will be at 4200 meters.
