Mucho hielo en el cañón, encontramos solo 3 anclajes, el resto tuvimos que añadirlos con taladro o improvisar puentes de roca o pequeñas columnas de hielo. Llamamos a la central y aunque no creían que hubiera liberación de agua, no lo podía asegurarlo al 100%
A lot of ice in the canyon, we found only 3 anchors, the rest we had to add them with a drill or improvise rock bridges or small ice columns. We called the headquarters and although they did not believe that there was a water release, they could not be 100% sure.
