@therockymountainmom: while hiking yesterday i came up on some very steep terrain (i was double carrying + without poles) the zigzag method / side stepping is my favorite for getting downhill safely. in the past i tried to stay perpendicular to the trail while side stepping. but i got the idea to zigzag after snowboarding last season. when i ride steep terrain i prefer the large s turns over straightlining!! it also helps to keep a low center of gravity and leaning back into the mountain 🏔️ i was impressed how snug C stayed in the front @Trail Magik Kid Carriers 🙌🏼 #doublecarry #hikingmom #hikingwithbabies #hikingwithtoddlers #trailmom #babywearing #hikingtips
