Me and my friend's first time hiking was in the middle of winter trying to hike up this 800ft mountain without micro spikes or any sort of traction gear, and on the way up we decided to go off trail and climb straight to the top through some steep place, we kept sliding down and eventually we gave up and left. I wanted to go get an ice axe and climb it that way but it was too late and it was dark.
