Hope seen yesterday.

Yesterday I was out on a very strenuous and technical hike. It became obvious that many people had seriously underestimated the challenged and were very under prepared in many ways. Some folks were in real distress.

It was heartening to see other people change their plans and assist these folks from precarious situations.

Teamwork makes the dreamwork.

I saw hope. It was a great change.

having the skills to route find, and the ability to climb, not hike, a vertical rock wall about 15 feet in length. This climb wasn’t hard, but has exposure and folks had difficulty down climbing it, especially. Pretty good bottleneck.

Definitely a hike that wasn’t foot in front of another.

😀
