Report by Mark Richey: 5 / 7 Nothing could have been further from the truth. In fact, the gentle disarming glacier we saw below, ultimately funneled its way down into a steep and terrifying gorge leading all the way to the Nubra valley. By the time we realized this, we were too exhausted to retrace our path, already day 7 on 5 days of food. Unwittingly, we committed ourselves to the canyon. At first, our downward progress was easy, jumping the turbulent stream from side to side to avoid the canyon walls. Soon however, we found ourselves reppelling directly through waterfalls and down narrow water filled channels. At one point Mark had to drop his pack half way down a rappel into a deep pool for fear of being drowned. |
