Today’s report is through the eyes of the EC (expedition chick). This morning we left behind the meadows and flowers of Urdukus and trekked to Gore2 (4300M) along the sea of ice and rubble, that is the mighty Baltoro glacier.

Trekking on the glacier provided much appreciated relief from the dust and the heat of previous days and we were greeted with views of Gasherbrum 4, Masherbrum and a glimpse of Gasherbrum 1.

We are now camped on the rubble of the glacier, you'd be surprised at how comfortable a bit of stone can be when using a full size pillow smuggled from home.
