4.5.24 - Final Fantasy VII: I'm having trouble navigating through the snowy wasteland that's between the Great Glacier and the old man's cabin. How do I get through this?

Here is a simple map of the snowy field:

            e  |                             |  a  e     W-- + --E
         G     |                             |  n  r         |

         t  a  |                             |  e  a
         e  c  |                             |  r
            e  |                             |
               +-----------------------------+
                  Ice Gate (Steaming Lakes)

No matter where you are headed, if you touch any of the four boundaries
at any point, you'll end up in that particular area. To tell in what
direction you are headed, press O to lay down spikes in the snow. This
way, when the screen rotates, you can tell from the position of the
spikes in what direction you are facing and adjust your path
accordingly.
