Beautiful hike with some more mountain goats! (7/28/12)

I had another great hike this weekend with some beautiful country.  Plus I was able to find some mountain goats in some truly rugged country.  Thought you might enjoy.

(Sorry for the crappy picture.  My zoom lens broke.  I have a new one coming in the mail.  The video will just have to do for now.)

I'm really surprised you guys aren't using trekking poles.

I often do but we had pretty light packs.

seems like they just get in the way when you really gotta scramble like that.

That's definitely the advantage of collapsible trekking poles as you can just strap them to your pack when they are not useful or are in the way.
