I did not realize that the left side (my pov) was steep as I leaned that way while stepping on the trees because the right side had no chance of recovery in the event of a fall. Jeremy literally hopped on the branches while I tried to slither through like a snake (fail). That "final push" where you were coaching me had to be the worse moment ever on that ridge for me--arm strength was quickly dissipating as my two little clumps of grass began to be uprooted, so I had to leap forward and hope I stabilize on the grassier portion just a few feet up ahead. As I sat there contemplating the what-ifs and figuring out where the hell did my safety glasses go, my triceps locked for a long while after that encounter too close to the edge. My description of Bear Claw redefined: a seemingly enjoyable 2/3rds of climbing yet death awaits you mere feet from its summit. Last 30 feet is where it can all go wrong."Reef Shoes" Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796576146144011356noreply@blogger.com
