climbing up to yumtsolla

The toughest part on the way to the pass, a steep slope with snow to the waist and ugly boulder in between. If I hadn't broken trail we would have to turn around, so I go ahead and manage to motivate the porters to follow: two porters at the end were about to turn around, another one is scared and thinks he'll die. I check everybody and they are fine, no threat of injuries or frostbite but to be sure I hand out my extra clothes.
