Fogged in at 8000', storm moving in...There were some people out there making bad wilderness decisions today. I'm just glad I wasn't one of them. Abandoned a Bighorn Peak summit trip when a thick fog, wind, and snow arrived. Started back toward Cedar Glen and hit seriously sketchy, icy terrain (also this cool pine tree). Backtracked. Convinced three others to do the same. Two unfortunately wouldn't listen to reason. Reminds me of something I read recently. From Susan Casey, in The Wave:
They were more aggressive than experienced, more brash than respectful...Because of that, they were dangerous.
Wise words.
