A military mule train carrying mostly fuel cans working its way up the glacier. Each mule carries 4 cans with five gallons of fuel each.

Our mules in the distance on the other side. (Look across the stream just above our heads to the tiny dots on the trail)

Maybe a species of tansy?

Or Ajania fruticulosa?

In camp, Rachel's right boot has bit the dust, the sole peeling off. The idea of tying the sole back to the boot doesn't appeal to any of us, especially Muhammed and Nahid. From here, they will be wearing soft shoes instead of boots, so Rachel tries on their boots, Nahid's fit perfectly.
