Harsh conditions on Ojos del Salado. Our group did not reach a few meters to the summit. PHOTOS

Artem Rostovtsev, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:

We did try, but did not stand on the top. The result: three hours we made trail on  the crater, the snow was on the ears, but more often to the waist. 30 meters away from the summit rocks fixed ropes, movement speed has been zero, we "overate" working snow. I turned the team. All were satisfied, in principle.
