Sounds good. Every step one takes is dangerous.

Probably from that snow. Avoid if possible.

Five hundred feet, yikes! Even if a lot of it was sliding or tumbling, that's farther than I'd want to fall.

That is how far that Hank Williams Jr fell in an accident in 1975...he's living proof that a country boy can survive

@sidhayes There’s still considerable snow above 12000’ in the Rockies.

I'm going there in early September; hopefully the snow will be melted by then

@DixieFlyer Alternatively, hopefully it will already be falling again!
