Four years ago i crossed Rim-Rock, this is 12-mile Highline Trail’s steep starting section with a narrow path and a 400-meter long reinforced cable for hand-holding.
Our Son and i wanted to do a dry-run and see how scary it would be. Cheryl stayed at Logan Pass with a good book.
It was 7:00 PM in July, so there were three hours of light remaining.
Our section would only take 10 minutes one-way from the parking lot.
With both hands tightly grasping the cable, i made it across what i deemed terrifying.
So terrifying in fact, that i was unable to return the same way.
With 11.5 miles to get to the other end, it would likely be 2:00 AM until we could traverse the trail to safely exit at The Loop.
At 1:00 AM, however, there are no shuttles, nor is there cell service to let Cheryl know what happened.
She’d panic (rightfully so) if we didn’t return.
i mustered the courage to walk back the narrow 400-meter trail.
i had to.
There was no other option.
Yesterday was a culmination of slow and steady progress, and the official self-proclaimed designation, overcomer.
