Difficult, but still okay...
SO, we decided to take a "short-cut" back, and it
was one of the most terrifying experiences of my
life! I was almost hyperventilating, sweating, and
cried at least two times on the way up this boulder
field. I think it was about a mile...straight up....holding
onto these pieces of rock (some of which were not
anchored steadily). Jack kept trying to reassure me
that we would make it all the way up, but I was sure
we were going to meet our creator face to face today!
This picture doesn't show at all how harrowing it was!
It almost makes it look fun. Oh, yeah, I was also shaking.
When we finally reached the top, all I could do was sit down and cry. I think the folks at Glen Eyrie were serious when they posted this trail "difficult". Jack thought they were just being overly cautious. Ha! I will stick with "easy" from now on!
