Mist Mountain attempt
 
November 16, 2002
 
Solo scramble.
 
To make a long and harrowing story a little shorter, this attempt of Mist Mountain via Daffern’s route up the south side of the mountain came to an abrupt halt courtesy of insane winds.
 
I made it about halfway up the mountain, foolishly battling the elements en route. At one point, the wind was so strong I was forced to lie on the ground. When that wind started actually pushing me down the mountain as I lay there, I realized it was time to turn around!
 
I’ll be back when the weather is more cooperative and my brain is functioning on a less primal level!
