Jan 10 - Glacier Grey
Our first actual day of hiking today. Turns out, we're over provisioned (5 litres of wine) and under fit. In the morning we hiked about 11 km with full packs to Lago Grey. There were happy smiles at the start of the hike...
You'll notice the lake actually has ice bergs in it.
After a short rest and an expensive lunch (since we didn't have time to cook one ourselves) we spent the afternoon hiking on Glacier Grey, crampons, ice axes and all.
Taking a short rest.
We finished it off by scaling an ice wall. One of our guides, a Frenchman named Miguel, kept reminding us to make the "sexy move" while climbing up. There was supposed to be 5 moves or steps, when ascending. 1 - secure right ice axe, 2 - secure left ice axe, 3 - kick in right crampon, 4 - kick in left crampon and 5 - "sexy move", or in other words, thrust your hips against the wall. The same Frenchman mistook Caseys Hungry Herbies shirt as reference to a marijuana joint. Poor guy.
Enjoying dinner on the shores of Lago Grey after a very, very long first day.
