7. That's me rounding the northwest side of the Loch.  From the downstream side of the Loch and beyond is where the snow became non-supportive and I needed to put on the snowshoes.  Even with the snowshoes I had trouble sinking in sometimes.  There seemed to be no one single heavily used trail rounding the Loch.  Part of that area I forged my own trail.  But once past the Loch, a good trail developed again.
