Reading

I do a lot of mountain hiking, not climbing, so you know I’m talking about using feet, not ropes or pitons, to get me wherever I want, but my first law of relaxation is never to do a sport where a mistake can mean death. I recently dis-covered the hike of a lifetime: Cliff Trail on Vermont’s highest peak, the 4,393-foot (1,338-meter) Mount Mansfield. There are many ways to climb the Mansfield, but Cliff Trail starts near the top, so I took a van there. I was hiking with a local guide.

When we reached our destination, we hiked down a short path to Cliff Trail. For the rest of the morning, instead of going ever upwards, we climbed down wooden ladders, passed up rock faces, and crossed the side of the mountain. Besides mostly using feet, we used hands to hold onto roots, arms to pull us over steep rocks, and shoulders to get through narrow passages. Occasionally, my guide pushed and pulled me through the difficult spots. I was both scared and excited.

We started at 10 a.m., reached the summit around 3 p.m., and stopped there for a long slow look at Vermont. The view was marvelous.
