Comments:
This peak, having its key saddle at the col where we started our ascent of Photulo was just too easy to pass. It looked like it even might have a prominence exceeding 300 meter. (It turned out to barely miss this value. We drove to the trailhead and made the ascent in slightly less than 15 minutes. Unlike Photulo, this summit even had a cairn. We descended back to the car in about 10 minutes.
It was now time to drive back to our hotel in Sucre.
