Sodium:1 Harbinger
“The rains had ended and the night had given the flood of water a chance to run down the valley and out of our way. After crossing we moved down the creek to where the trail picked up to take us on top of the ridge.It was a slow and slippery climb. About three quarters of the way up the trail we encountered several steep assents. Bull climbed first and then threw a rope back down for the rest of us to secure ourselves. I felt the rope was a good idea considering my track record for disaster.As I pulled myself up onto the final rock my right boot began to slide. I tried to get my balance with a stable foothold, but none was there to be had. I slid and then tumbled backwards falling ten feet before Bull pulled tight on the line.The tumble brought with it more bruises and a rope burn around my waist. As I made the climb for a second time I was again thankful for my friend. I watched closely as Susi and then Allie made their way up, holding the rope as they came. From that point to the top... of the ridge was easy going.We now had a long walk across the plateau to get back to Lake Eleanor.MoreLess
