We can barely see it from the base camp, but it lies there, all sparckly. We all know we need to hike further in the valley to reach it, and that Catalinadal lake is worth it. But our legs are tired. The long portage of yesterday, through moraines and glaciers was exhausting, and the cold night didn't help.

Aujourd’hui, notre programme est le même qu’hier, monter le plus de choses possibles, le plus haut possible. Si possible d’ailleurs, jusqu’au pied du glacier Edward Bailey où nous voulons poser notre camp de base.

Je t’écris ce matin du 20 juillet parce que j’ai pris mon quart pour faire la vigie entre 5 et 7 heures, pour surveiller la venue éventuelle d’un ours sur le camp. Il fait jour comme toujours et pas trop froid, mais je suis tout de même emmitouflé dans ma doudoune à écouter le bruit du torrent en contrebas, des quelques oiseaux du coin, des blocs de pierres qui dévalent les versants alentours et des ronflements de quelques-uns de mes compagnons d’aventure.
