Now above treeline, the terrain becomes barren.

In the span of 20 minutes since we left the road, the landscape has become devoid of trees and the trail has become narrow. We become aware that a slip could potentially result in a very long roll downhill. However, the views looking towards the valley are - particularly for flatlanders from New Jersey - utterly spectacular, and we press on.
