Turn Back Point

This is where I turned back.
The trail started at around 8500 ft, supposed to go all the way up to 10000+ ft at the peak,
but since most of the trail is under snow, the parts of the mountain not under snow instantly
became the new trail. Notice this is taken at eye-level, i.e. I'm not looking down at the ground,
this is how steep it is.
Me the wimp stopped at around 8700 ft, after my fear of height kicked in.
Coming down the mountain, I was on all four, sliding in the snow.
