Thumbs up to someone getting injured while hiking. Classy.
I look forward to the facts of the case coming out, (not really). But since when do you need your arms to walk? I'm lucky, I've been around so long, I can peruse these epic tales with the same intensity I use, taking out the trash. Ho Hum. I was recently asked by some sneaker wearing adventurers scaling a 4k who met me on my descent, How is up there? I replied fantastic. God Speed you cute little neophytes, as I spiked on by.
Walking with a broken arm or dislocated shoulder can still be very painful given all the maneuvering required (especially on icy rocks). Real-life injuries are a bit more severe than in the movies. Happy Holidays?
I keep waiting to read about all the hikers I saw headed up Pierce Friday morning as we were coming down. Hands in blue jean pockets, no gloves, no packs, no hats, no traction aids no goggles with winds blowing 60 tp 70 mph with 100mph gusts. Only saw three people I felt were dressed appropriately. Coming back from Mizpah hut I thought my eyeballs were going to freeze. I almost put my goggles on. No Idea how they thought they were going to summit in the fog and blowing snow.
Nothing new (and not likely to change...)I keep waiting to read about all the hikers I saw headed up Pierce Friday morning as we were coming down. Hands in blue jean pockets, no gloves, no packs, no hats, no traction aids no goggles with winds blowing 60 tp 70 mph with 100mph gusts. Only saw three people I felt were dressed appropriately.
The GF and I just hiked up Shelburne Moriah trail yesterday and didnt see a soul. I'm becoming more and more enamored with the Wild River Wilderness area.
