Stoopid Americanos (pt2)

After our lessons, we pulled out our trash compactor bags and made our glissading rig. We cut 2 holes, one for each leg, in the bottom sides of the bag, and then pulled it on like a diaper. We front loaded our packs and stowed our poles. We used our ice axes as a break. Then away we went, flying down the snow field we just hiked up. We hopped in the chute one after the other to benefit from the previous persons butt impression. Have to pay attention because once in a while you’ll hit a sharp one. Between hills, there was some flat areas we had to walk. So we walked while holding our gear to our chest in one hand and the other holding up our diaper. We walked past many other teams headed up the mountain and the looks they gave us were classic “ stupid American” looks. Tomorrow we move to “The Huts” in preparation for our first summit bid.
