100% the right choice, my best friend passed away a year ago hiking through snow with a group (while using crampons), she slipped and fell a considerable distance. Know your skill level, risk assess and have the right gear ❤️

Risk assessment is such a good skill to have, and to follow your sense instead of your ego! This is legitimately why way more men ☠️doing outdoorsy activities

The only bad hike is the one you don't return from.

Honestly this is so much more impressive, turning around after assessing the situation instead of risking your AND others life

Love to see people hike safely. A slightly lame journey is always better than a dangerous one 💕

I’m glad you posted this because we only ever hear about the stories that end in tragedy and all think “why didn’t they just turn around”?

I’m from this area and just looking at where you are this was 100% the right decision, all that is basically an ice skating downhill

You made the right choice! Idk if the route is out&back but without crampons/spikes, hiking up is one thing - hiking down is an entirely new challenge. As disappointing as it may feel in the moment, you saved yourself from unnecessary danger
