weighed 4 lbs. There are a few pillows of yarata here, but mostly sheets of it perhaps 50 ft. square covering a whole slope. One such area had had some turf removed and was growing back mostly to yarata. aug. 19 camping place by daylight (above Hualley, 15,000ft) turns out to be a bowl with rocky cliff headwall and one little stream coming out of Phatichia. also dwarf grass and yarata.
