Yak's really clogged this area up, but the path was two feet wide and the snow on either side was very meltyyy...
Things started to get pretty strenuous as this hard packed snow loosened in the afternoon... thigh-deep snow is slow going for sure.
Early morning vibes on the way to Ice Lake amongst the melting of the prior night's "flurries" (Nepali for 3-6" of snow).
