    The amount of emergency rescues I’ve seen and helped with on steep scree exactly like that has given me enough respect to stay far away. Stay safe, and always tell someone your plans.

    Thank you for being such a great role model and showing that respecting your limits and making it back to saftey before the weather changes/night falls is so much more important than any summit!

    Well done for recognizing your limits and making the sensible call! Too many people can't bring themselves to turn back when the summit is so close and end up putting themselves (and rescuers) in danger. Its hard to turn back when you've come so far, especially in front of others, but this is by far the more impressive and courageous choice.

    I hate loose rocks like this on inclines with no clear path! Had something similar (but probably not quite as steep) on the last 1.5 km to the Zugspitze in Germany. I hated it and thought I would slide back down the mountain. Made it up in the end, but would not have made it if it was any steeper or longer and if I wasn't surrounded by other hikers that day (I'm also a solo hiker but this mountain is tourist trap). I must have been the slowest beetle on the entire damn mountain, crawling up the mountainside on all fours. Going back down by foot was not an option with my heavy pack on my back unless I wanted to break my neck, so the only way was up. And this mountain looks way scarier! Mad respect to you for getting this far and knowing your limits.
