Note: the Río Yeso camp and the crossing must have been at almost exactly the same altitude. The difference in measured height (the readings were more than 12 hours apart) is an indication of the unreliability of our GPS unit, at least for altitude. All readings had at least 5 satellites in view, and a quoted horizontal error of at most 10m; the vertical error is said to be only 50% greater.
