Dragnag to Dzonglha

-Got up just after 5 AM. Started hike up towards Cho La Pass. It had snowed about 0.5 inches overnight. Hiked up an icy ridge, and could see Cho La Pass across the way. Hiked across a boulder field covered w/snow. We hiked up very steep, loose, and snowy/icy rocks. Very difficult! It felt good to reach the summit of Cho La Pass (5330m)... with many Buddhist prayer flags on top.
-Hiked across a small glacier and started hiking down. Was hiking w/Valerie (Quebec) most of the way.
-Reached Dzonglha (4830m). Checked into expensive tea house, run by a Sherpa who summitted Sagarmatha (Everest) 4 times. (Green Valley View Lodge)
-Ened up sharing a room w/Cesar (Brazil).
-Dal Baht for dinner. Played hearts, war, go fish, and a%*hole w/Irena, Sanders, Jasmine, and 2 Sherpas.
