Trail-free mountain climbing?! Damn. Fun. I've only done trail-free little hills in east county San Diego. There are houses growing there, now. Can I borrow your avalanche this Christmas?
You'd make a very unique [read great] social media influencer. You could call yourself The Angry Mountaineer.
Happy Birthday.
Most of what I do in the mountains is off trail. The trails are just a way in :)
You can have the avalanche, no need to return it. We have plenty out here.
