Sun.9th Aug. Day 9. Paiju to Liligo (3715 m. - 12188 ft.)

An hour's walk brought us to the Baltoro Glacier, a massive torrent pouring out of a cave at the base of it's snout.
The ice is covered by a layer of rubble and the whole place is chaotic and hard going.
Superb view of the Trango Towers group - Nameless Tower on the left and Great Trango in the middle.
Looking back at Paiju Peak - 6600 m., 21653 ft.
