This is what I told myself after a similar incident on the way up Mt. Mansfield. Had to abort and turn around but I made it back after many rest stops. Great story of you helping another hiker "tough it out".
Looking forward to meeting you at my first Konvention, Puma. Coming from NH by way of Green Bay so I'll be going thru ND on the way. Gotta get some of those big mts. out west! Steve
