>>1853541Taking a rest after getting out of a tight spot. I misread my gps, and followed what I tought to be a livestock path down a really steep slope, more ore les through the bushes. It turns out it had been following the mark of a sheep most likely fell/tumbled down the slope, as the opening in the bushes over a cliff, and I saw it's bones 20m lower. I was not a nice moment for me. I managed to find a flat spot to stop and regroup, because there was no forward, and going back up seemed near impossible. First of all I decided to cool down and take no decision while rushed and saweaty. So I took a shit (don't ask me why, felt like it, did wonders lmao), had some food and water. By then I was thinking more calmly, I decided to dump as much weight as I could and see if i could climb back up (I had 8 days worth of food and all my camping gear, roughly 17kgs with water). I threw away 4kgs of home made hig-cal muesli (half the calories planned for the trip) and the water I had left. That + the food I ate there and then+ the shit had me lighter by a solid 6-7 kgs, and I turned around to go back up. Turns out it was way easier going up than down. The physical effort was intense, but the bushes offered a good solid grip and it was way easier to find proper footing facing the slope than going down with my back to it. It took me another hour to get back up, exhausted but euphoric, this is whan I took the pic
