On the other side of the glacier, thankfully, dark rocks serve us a better way to the top of Nevado Pisco, although they don’t seem to be quite consistent. Soon we have arrived at the entry to the glacier of Nevado Pisco. In the majority of cases there is a clear trace showing us the way to the saddle. So, we have to follow the steep ascend before reaching the top of 5752 meters.
