Day Fifteen: More Snow, This is Not Good.

Crossing the snow was tricky, particularly at the edges where it had melted and refrozen. This section was not as steep as most, where a bad step meant a slide down to rocks or worse. Just before this section one of the americans behind us had fallen, sending boulders crashing down on us. He was cut pretty badly and had broken his nose, and was forced to return to Innsbrucker. We were so shaken up that we slowed down even more.
