Unusual heavy snow mixed with rapid melts have caused some tragic events in another area of Nepal, namely the Annapurna region and particularly the Thorung La pass.
After climbing Gokyo ri either today or tomorrow I was to go over a pass but have decided against and error on the side of safety. I'll end up back tracking a bit but that's just fine.
So just wanted to get in front of the news and let everyone know that I'm safe and sound.
