We arrived at Hamta Pass (about 4,200 meters or 13,000 feet) at about noon.
It was freezing cold at the Pass, mainly due to the wind chill. Yet people were excited, busy taking pictures (good!), making their marks (baaaaddd...), etc.
Spencer, of YMCA Hong Kong, was the organizer of our trip. He gets paid to have fun. His only worry is his teenage daughter who likes to watch basketball, instead of playing it.

View of the valley from Hamta Pass.
After the Pass, gone are the lush green grasses and trees. Only rocks of all size - some bigger than the biggest truck.

Iris and Derek working hard at camp site after Hamta Pass.
It was quite an easy downhill walk after Hamta Pass (except for Grace who had a hard time jumping from one big rock to another.) We arrived at the camp site at about 3 or 4pm. Plenty of time to take pictures and have tea.
And also this was the day our guide Acharya stopped asking us to exercise by climb small hills nearby. Perhaps he figured that we should be all acclimatized after the Pass.
