A couple of weeks back I went ice fishing with some friends down to Lost creek here in UT. The trip down the dam was steep and well packed but I almost slid on my big bottom if it was not for my ice spikes keeping on the hill. So after a good day of fishing I thought I would go up the other side of the dam that was less steep but not packed. I have used that side before and it was easier. So up I and my two friends went. about a 1/4th of the way up my buddies turned around and went back down. I, on the other hand continued, WRONG move. I ended up crawling up on my hands and knees and was worn out when I was done. The other guys were waiting for me once I got up. They let me know that going up the packed steep section was a lot esier than the less steep soft section I crawled up. Next time I will take the road mostly traveled, at least in the snow![]
