Using a tree for help |
It was Ben's idea, mostly. I definitely wouldn't have picked a 99 percent inclined hill to hike up with snowshoes and poles that weren't the right sizes for any of us. BUT it was very fun!
After a grueling fifteen minutes or so of hiking with our snowshoes up the side of the mountain, literally, we sat down to rest. After a while we took off our snowshoes and hiked to the peak, which was much, MUCH easier without our snowshoes than with. Go figure. I suppose the snowshoes we got weren't cut out for Extreme Snowshoeing, as is likely if you are going anywhere with Ben.

It was a hard day of hiking and sliding and not so much snowshoeing, and our next goal is to cross country ski up the trail!
