Broke camp at daylight. Found going much harder [and] had to wait on carriers as they had heavy loads and tired rapidly Aguintawa still [a] long way ahead. Have five ridges to cross and many {F4.3} rivers. Camped high on ridge near water at 5:00. Carriers good and tired for going is up and down and trail [in] some places slow tedious work. Colder than ever, and heavy blankets felt good especially early mornings. Rain of course.
