Everyone said that the second day of the trip would be the most difficult. Our guide Augusto told us to prepare for 3 seasons.  He wasn´t kidding. The day started out mild. As we climbed into the mountains it went from misty, to rainy, to cold to warm again as we descended down dead womans pass.Â

The hike starts out pretty difficult and ended even harder.
Misty Mountain, Don´t see no sun.Â

Me and my Hommies working our way up the Mountain side.Â

We made it to the top, all 4, 215 meters. The hats you got to love the hats. 
 Lance was pretty close.
View to the other side of Dead Womans Pass. The other side was amazing!
Thats Kirk with his hands in the air.
 
Me and Colin on the descent from Dead Womans Pass. It´s actually pretty warm right now.
Don´t go chasing waterfall - Dallas.
Its difficult to believe that the Incans built all of this. Augusto thinks that at this point its 60% incan 40% restored. The farther we go the ratio of Original to restored increases.
This is a Section cut through our hike. The high point is Warmiwañusca or Dead Womans Pass. No one ever explained to me why it was called that…
They mention a second climb after Dead Womans Pass. Trust me its a lot further than it looks. These are very steep steps by the way.
Each set of ruins was used as a communication point to like together the Incan Empire. Messages were sent via conch shell blowing and relayed form station to station. Apparently the Hawaiians werent the only ones who figured out that you could make a lound noise by blowing into the end of a conch shell.
Sayacmarca Ruins. Pretty Cool with great views.
Me at the Sayacmarca Ruins. There are more Ruins below but the clouds are kind of covering them.
