Lord have mercy on my legs

One of the hardest things I’ve ever done. We are the first to link these in a single push. (Or in general I believe) 3x6000m peaks 

We woke up at 2:45am to get ready for the day. Made it to the TH and started by about 5:45. Sidehilling around the backside or Sur was like walking on a hill of marbles, really slow moving. Once we made it to the backside and the sun came up the stoke was high, we found our line through the cliff band from afar. A lot of postholing on the glacier to get to the face of Sur. Once through the cliffs we had a long slog through the maze of towers up there, feels like it took forever. Coming down from the summit we ran into 2 other people near the top, which is not a thing here typically.

After a descent fast descent to the Col between Sur and Centro we ran into Erin Ton who carried up over a gallon of water for us. What a life saver! We all 3 hiked Centro together, and by together I mean Erin took off and crushed it up her highest peak ever. Post holing all of the way to the summit. Erin went back down the standard and Ty and I dropped off the north side of the summit toward the last peak of the day, Norte!

Going down Centro was pretty fast moving fortunately and we found ourselves at the base of the final climb with the sun still out. We went around a glacier and over some ravines and climbed up the sand hill to the alpine lake near the summit where we had an incredible sunset, lake reflection.. after on top of the final peak we were stoked, cold and pretty fuckin wrecked after climbing 3x 6000m peaks in a row. 

We descended the steep screen gully off of Norte and the slogged back to the truck after a few hours to close up the loop.. what a day, mega epic and really hard.

Closer to 18miles. Coros watches suck
