Fog lifts for great rewards on Cairn Peak
“Just step up, place your hand here, now another step, you’ve got it.” I was talking out loud to myself, a sure sign I was a little nervous. It’s not that the rock cliff I was scrambling up was difficult, it’s just that if I made a mistake I could slide several hundred feet down a steep rock slope to the valley below me. When I was younger I had easily negotiated the same section several times with an expedition pack, sled and skis strapped to my back after a long Juneau icefield traverse. On day hikes I would rush through sections like this without a care in the world. But now I was older, and I had a different perspective on risk. I also figured I had probably long ago used up my nine lives surviving various scares in the mountains.
