Uno: Starting inside a tent in the middle of the Peruvian Andes Joe and Simon are on an expedition to ascend an unclimbed face of a mountain. Richard, who is no climber is introduced. He was travelling alone and they found he would be useful to protect their gear while they climb and so was invited to join them. To test the weather the first day they spent exploring, later finding a hut lived in by two girls that exchanged food for them. To check out the weather further the next day they began a trip to Siera Norte, only for 4-5 days- however Richard was worried. They would assess how they would approach climbing the final mountain.

Dos: They begin the ascent and begin to get into the climb, after Joe was feeling the cold from the freezing temperatures. They come across tough terrain and narrowly dodge being hit down the mountain from loose boulders. They continue up but start to worry where they are going to sleep as the weather has begun to get dark, and realise it could take time to find a good snow-hole. They have a stroke of luck as a ready formed shelter is found. Joe still despises bivy’ing as he recalls a previous experience of a near death encounter because of a simple night under shelter. The ledge itself had fallen being only made of snow- only holding them from their safety lines. They make sure to pin them in.
