Our plans to do our first sojourn into the icefall were thwarted by a change in the weather. We were up at 4 a.m. but fresh falling snow put an end to any plans to go up. Our two trekkers Paul and Steve bid us farewell as they headed
back down to Concordia for their side trip to Broad Peak and K2 Basecamp. We also farewelled our guide Kushlin and Korin who were escorting our two trekkers back to Skardu.
