Climbs and Descents

The Hike up Lassen Mountain
The road to the top is grinding, laborious, and slow; but if you are lucky and have planned well, your route will then wind along an undulating ridge with challenges that are more pleasant than punishing and with lovely vistas to reward your previous efforts. Sooner or later, however, you must face a final descent that is too often both swift and terrifying.
