StandAlone & StayOut
You ever map out a trail like a battle plan? I always check the ridge lines before I go, just to make sure the wind and the weather won't turn a simple walk into a scramble.
Yeah, I do it the way a scout plans a route—lines, landmarks, weather. It’s all about keeping the path clear before the wind kicks in.
Nice, that’s how I do it, too. Keeps the surprises out of the back of my mind.
Good plan, no surprises means more focus on the climb itself.
Exactly. The easier the climb, the less time you spend arguing with a sudden storm.
Right, a solid plan keeps you moving forward no matter how the sky shifts.
