Woman On Top — With Keith being absent, Erin makes sure to get photoghraphic evidence of her achievement, having made it to the base of Torres del Paine. She was even nice enough not to rub it in.
Return to Ascencio Valley — Erin pauses to admire the valley and let Keith know what he missed, while on her way back down from the summit.
Happy Returns — Keith visibly feeling better after a few hours rest, while Erin, on the other hand, is exhausted. Who's the smart one now?
Lower Streams — The halfway point, on the way back. After six hours of hiking (or resting, in Keith's case), the frigid waters suddenly look very inviting!
Lago Nordenskhöld — Once we see this lake, named after a famous explorer of the Antarctic, we know it's all downhill from here.
Peak Viewpoint — A burnt tree, slowly falling apart, marks a perfect viewing point of the lower valley and Lake Nordenpoop, or whatever it's called.
The Bridge of Death (Not Really) — Up until a couple of years ago, no bridge existed here, and hikers had to make their way across the stream on foot. During the summer, like now, this didn't seem so bad...but in early spring, the waters could rise as much as several feet. I'll take the easy route, thanks.
Answer Me These Questions Three — Keith tests the sturdiness of the wooden bridge, while challenging Erin to answer three questions correctly lest she be cast into the river of peril! (Neither happened.)
