We managed to run up to the col, and then collapsed under the weight of
sweat. The gallon water container was filled and we set off prospecting
again. And it was hot. We tried wearing just shorts, but the sunburn hurt
too much - a great incentive for going down holes. We went 40-60' down
several promising passages but all choked/were snow plugged. And it was
still hot. We wandered round in circles getting more demented in the heat.
Nicky wearing her shorts on her head, me sitting down a hole with just head
projecting and Ben screaming about boulders falling out of the sky. It was
hot. John.
