I was surprized at how well that first leg went, so I gave her the nose up and began the second run which I knew was going to be easier than what I had just done.
I was still worked up over how steep some of that was, and when the snow is this hard you get a very strong feeling that your sled will come right on over and land on you. Even though your leaning way out over your hood to talk it out of doing just that!

We have only been to this point once, and no higher.
I mean this is high enough for crying out loud! You have a good view, some trees to break the wind,
and a flat spot to call home. Why would you want to go higher?
I suppose because it's there. Besides, this next segment looks easy enough and the snow is still hard at this elevation,
how can I say no?
But here is where I left Sean for all the good reasons just stated. Besides, he has a family to think about.

And right he was I'm sure, the slight diagonal sidehill to the right, (left in the photo) took me and my sled over a precipice that was close to 2000' to the bottom. I was really starting to think about getting down now but it was too late for regrets and too steep to turn, so on up I go until I arrived at this point for a view.
And what a view it is! The Klehini River valley and at the head you can see it turn to the left toward the Jarvis Glacier.
