Today I had to abort for the first time.
I underestimated the snow depth on my route and didn't bring snow shoes. About 200 m below the peak, in really steep terrain, I kept crashing through the surface of the thigh-deep snow between the rocks underneath. For one it was becoming really exhausting, cold, and I was worried I could hit one of the rocks with my shin or knee.
It was a bit of a reality check. Thanks for reading my blog post.
