Camped in the shadow of Alpamayo itself after a day defined by caterpillars scattered across the trail (inchworms and fuzzy black-and-red ones both), a long circular valley walk, and a summit made intense by fierce wind and loose, slate-like scree. The night ends with a chaotic, mid-dark tent turnaround after realizing they'd pitched it on a slope.

The hardest day of the trip: a herd of bulls treats a routine pass-through as a threat and pursues the sisters off-trail across open mountain slopes, no cover, real fear. Two more passes and a 15,000-plus foot summit later, the day turns around entirely at a meadow of fifty to a hundred alpacas right at sunset.

What was supposed to be an easy seven-mile day dissolves into backcountry chaos. An impassable river forces a scramble off-trail straight up a steep hillside, a pitch-black marsh nearly swallows a shoe whole, and a runaway cow, a village woman on horseback, and a genuine riverbed chase provide the rest of the day's drama.
