Carb-loading....


It began to cool off considerably as we went higher up. Note the ski caps sported by Will and Tom (and yet, paradoxically, we're all still in hiking shorts). We stopped frequently on the trail to fuel up with every alpine trekkers staple: Snickers. That's right, Snickers were available all along the trail, and we ate our fair share. They were about $1 a piece (having been packed up on someone's back) but, as Tom would say, that's like getting paid to eat it.
Here the seasoned expeditioners take some time to pore over the map as we enjoy a cup of sturdy milk-tea.
