Wed.5th Aug. Day 5. Askole to Korophon ( 3109 m. - 10200 ft.)

We begin walking - only about 3 hours today.
First glimpse of higher mountains - these are the lower Uli Biafo group from the west.
We camp in a shady spot just below the terminal moraine of the Biafo glacier.The river emerging from the glacier is fearsome at this tail-end of summer. The tiny bridge is fun to bounce across.
