Alberto
Inurrategui and Jean-Christophe Lafaille
are moving ahead strongly to the east
summit, where Jean plans to bivouac; They
must get up and go to the Main Summit,
come back up the East Summit, and down the
East Summit and back track down the
mountain over what will take them a period
of days! |
Rappel
