Day 12. To Daltsampa 4250m

The next morning it rained, and we ambled down the valley to the next camp site. [Two parties left Ali camp early, and managed to cross the pass that day, but they had no views. For the next 2 days, the weather was mediocre, and no one was able to cross the pass.]

Rain at Daltsampa. With only a tarp to protect them from the elements, the porters should have been miserable, but they insisted on being happy --- singing and joking to pass the time

Day 13. To Shaishcho

It rained again, and we again had a short walk to the next camp site.
