Chaukhi Pass
This will eat at me for a while.
No real alpinism but I figured you guys know best.
Only 3400metres, Chaukhi pass, coming from Roshka. First picture is the highest I got.
On the left side you have the pass.
I didn't do it. The snow was hard/soft, when you punched through it you got to tiny, muddy scree that was easily floating down.
But it was only 100metres to reach the pass!
Then I saw this wall of snow (zoom). I didn't know what to expect over the ridge.
I'm kinda new to this so I wanted to know if I overreacted by going back or not.
