Old snow and the edge of the knife – Panic?

But first, enter Mount Adams.

Talk about a dramatic landscape! My trip began in an area of ​​burns at the base of Mount Adams. The path surrounds Mount Adams and offers incredible glacier views on the mountain.

Then, when Mount Adams went back to the south, we began to obtain views from Mount Rainier. Like Shasta, Rainier’s view continued for several days.

The knife edge

Can you see the trail in this photo? The photo really does not do justice.

Perhaps the most dramatic section of the path has so far been the «edge of the knife», which is where the path follows a precipitated crest.

But first, one must decide whether or not or not the old snow mountain. Normally, I am not a big fan of the heights. I don’t care about rock climbing while I am agreed, but I get a small vertigo when I am very tall. I arrived at the base of the old snow and decided whether or not to go when a woman got off her. I asked him, is it worth it? She said absolutely and I did. She was right. The views were exceptional from the top. I would not repeat, however! The latest little fight at the end had me in pre-pican mode.

Then, on the edge of the knife, which, compared to the climb I had just made, was not as bad as I thought it would be.

It was a very long, surprisingly long day for only 23 miles.

Almost in a milestone

Can you believe that I am almost 1000 miles? Daily, I think for myself, I can’t believe I am doing this. In fact, I am doing this.
