13、olks decided they wanted to take an “alternate” route up the mountain rather than the established trail.The alternate route was straight up the west (steep) side.CMC is synonymous with mountain goat.Most of these folks scurried up the mountain like most people climb a set of stairs at the mall.Carl

Wrong!
18、While my climbing partner Carl opted for the trail, I prepared for my snowy descent.I took three steps into the snow and whoosh, I slipped on the ice layer under the snow and slid under the snow.Now completely soaked with melt water, I could only crawl on my hands and knees to the dry rock above.By
19、the time I made it out, I was out of options.The thunderstorms were approaching fast and all I could do was try and make myself flat against the mountain.Realizing almost too late that being the good geologist that I was, I had a rock hammer, camera, and who knows what other metal objects in my back
