    Dead Woman's Pass was the highest peak of the trail. You reach it (4200m 13776ft) after a 3 hours climbing on good tracks and stone steps, in the 2nd day.
    It was freezing up there when I climbed and it was foggy, so I couldn't really stay there and enjoy the landscape, but it was really nice...
