>>1057791>That seasonal snow is melting out quickly and in every minor drainage is melting out underneath. People punch through this shit all the time. Break legs, get impaled, drown, etc...You're STILL being way too dramatic. I don't think you have any experience with early season hiking above treeline. What in the fuck are you even on about, "get impaled and drown"?? It's like 12-18 inches of snow on a slope. Even punching through that kind of snow is way less of an issue than you're making it out to be. The streams will be mostly obvious and well-defined, and as long as you avoid walking directly into one of those, then you won't punch through at all. This isn't a glacier on Denali where you need to watch for crevasses. I honestly think you've watched too many movies and are letting them influence the little bit of knowledge that you may or may not have about the topic. Next time you want to give out advice on /out/, try to stay within the limits of your own experience and don't bring your imagination into the conversation.
>especially considering at this stage in the melt there is absolutely a better, faster way to go than idiotically following a completely buried trail.Given what he's said in the thread, it seems that the trail up to the point in the photo must have been clear, so I have no idea what you're on about here, either. Stop making shit up and talking out of your ass. You're actually making /out/ a worse place by giving inaccurate information and misinformed advice to newbies.
