Sometimes our best friend quickly turns into our worst enemy.
Summit of Mount Neva (12,814 feet | 3906 meters) after an ascent of the lovely Juliet Couloir...and after things went sideways. My GPS clocked me going 17 mph / 28 kph during this incident.

I thought it was from another climber who had a bunch of rotten snow give way under him, hurtling HIM down a slope. It was a fun day! At the end of the day, you can't beat mother nature. She has the last say! Sarah
