What was supposed to be the project of the morning ended up taking all day: climbing "Telescope Peaks", a mountain of 3400m height. Right next to Death Valley of -86m height this ment quite a view.... and everything seemed much smaller than it was. On the picture 3/4 of our trail of 22.5 km long and 1000m up! Most of the climbing was in the last snowy bit.... lack proper climbing gear and oxygen became clearly apparent there
