Check out that ice! At this point our guides truly excelled themselves. Without their constant exhortations to "be careful" I shudder to think what may have happened.

Actually, in all seriousness, I'm sure that when the earlier group went through, the guides were supremely helpful to some of the less sure-footed trekkers. But Louisa and I didn't really want their help, so all they could do was tell us to be careful and point at the ice which, whilst amusing, also got quite annoying. Hey ho. :-)
