Leslie and I conquered one of her bucket list adventures… Mount Sneffels. It was a tough hike with a long very steep scree field followed by an even steeper boulder field, followed by a slightly technical passage with enough exposure to make it interesting. The hike took us a lot longer than I thought it would – about 9 hours, because you just can’t rush progress, up or down, on that scree field. Now I know why most of the hikers I saw were wearing helmets. Well… we did it! And lived to tell our tale. The vistas were spectacular.
