    The Terrain is getting steeper and wilder
    Burnt slopes that will probably never carry pines againAs we get closer to 3000m snow patches everywhereSnow covering the trail and making it extremely difficult to followThe pine trees grow in a spiral to make the trunks stronger in the extreme windsHuge fallen trees make hiking even more difficult.It starts getting dark, this site on a slope was the only I foundI placed rocks on the slopes side to stop me slipping downhill in the night

    2900m, just under the San Jacinto peak

    May 24, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    As I get closer to 3000m, the slopes get steeper and wilder, and snow fields start covering the already stony and difficult trail and making navigation really hard.
    It starts getting dark and really cold and I am desperate. I take the only free space on a slope for my tent and make a row of large rocks to prevent me from sliding down the slope.
    Another really cold night at -5degrees without sleep!
