(un)Packing Fears ~ Heights

[illabelle]

There are many places on the AT where we marveled at the hard work done by the trail builders. We talked about how their efforts made the trail safer and easier for us to hike. We were grateful.

And then there were other places where we cursed the trail builders, Are you trying to KILL ME?!?!? How could you route the trail over this cliff! What were you thinking!?!?! The stand-out example of the latter is the descent from North Carter (NOBO). It was slick steep bare rock that looked like a water chute. If I slip, how far will I fall? Will I go over the edge? We made it, but it was scary. I recommend good grippy shoes, a strong sense of caution, and good weather.

This. A hundred times, this!!
