Rheinmetall Expedition: Construction of the second shelter (5)

12/27/2017By Redaktion

Setback! Originally, the team wanted to push towards High Camp 4, which is located at around 6,250 meters. Unfortunately, this was not successful due to the difficult terrain. The vehicle took a beating and so the team returned to the first High Camp Atacama at 5,200 meters. The truck carried material for another shelter and supplies for five to eight days the whole time.

Upon arrival at the camp, the team found that the protective container built in 1982 had already suffered greatly from the weather conditions. After consulting with the team and other climbers staying at the camp, the team therefore built a new shelter next to the container to provide further protection from the elements to other climbers. This shelter now also makes an important contribution to the safe ascent and descent of Ojos. You can access the video via the cover image, or HERE.
