I've reached the top of the hill and Pachalka Spring's green spot is still in view at the centre-right

It has been a slow, careful climb, slippery with quite a bit of loose rock in places. I don't feel like I have much energy today, but I've made it this far with no real problems, so I guess I'm OK.
