Night 13: Leaving the High Peaks Behind

Night 13/25

So we woke up and it had snowed a couple of inches. Frozen rain had come down the night before but I don’t think any of us were expecting snow to stick to the ground. I did not expect to wake up, get outside to pee and see the yellow remnants marking the spot i had chosen.

That was supposed to be our layover day and our chance to hike up a high peak and see the rest of them. But it had snowed. We had stayed in bed late because it was cold and there had already been a lot of cold and we wanted to stay warm. And the snow makes the scree slippery. Michael did not want to take us up the peak on the slippery rocks so we decided to hike on. I don’t know if it ever really cleared up at the very tops of the peaks.

We had some fun at the little peak playing Arctic Mardi Gras.
