Yak Kharka to High Camp (4875m) - plus excursion to the Thorong La (5416m)

Since there was some time left in the afternoon, I decided to already visit the pass (for training purposes and because I wanted to experience it in the evening light, in addition to the next morning). For safety reasons because of the high altitude, my group leader only let me go accompanied by a porter. I ended up going with two porters, who had not been to the pass before, neither.
