Feeling Defeated
Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 5:53 am
I went to Lassen (Calif) this weekend for my first snowshoe/climb trip of a peak. I set off for Chaos Crags and at one point knew the trail (other shoes prints) were not going the right direction and checked my compass. I decided to break trail and follow my instincts and compass. I ended up being right. BUT, my time was limited as my daughter had a soccer tournement 1 hour away. So, as i was climbing the ridge and knowing I was close to the summit I stopped and went back to get to her game. Part of me says I should have gone on to the summit. Yes? or No?
