The view of the high Sierra Lake, nestled in the snow and rock slightly below the timber line, was beautiful from my vantage point some five hundred feet above its shimmering1 surface. I was anxious to rejoin my companions and try the fishing before are afternoon shadow - edging out from the surrounding array of peaks - entirely2 covered the lake. Just a short distance beyond the intervening shale3, the trail zigzagged4 down to the valley. I disliked the thought of returning by the long, tedious trail I had ascended5, and decided6 to chance the shale - even though part of it lay above a sheer drop-off of several hundred feet.
