Humphreys Peak fail

Now why would I add a fail to the YouTube channel? Because I believe in documenting and journaling the truth to my audience no matter how small it may currently be. This was Will's intro to mountaineering and snowshoeing of any kind, so his pace wasn't matched with mine, also one minor mistake at first turned into a big upset. The trail said to go one way, but the tracks followed another, we trusted and followed the track that led to nothing of use but almost a 2-hour detour of getting lost and off-trail. It was pretty annoying, and it was my fault and decision to go the tracks route. What essentially caused the turnaround was it being 11:00 AM and the snow on the way up starting to get sun-beaten and sloshy, which turned into some dangerous scenarios where Will fell more than once on snowshoes with 50 pounds on, we still got some good powder skiing down. I am still new to recording ski runs so the ones I did get were bad and did not make the cut, but we will get our redemption and I will capture more of the moments.
