Like climbing a tangled dirt rope hanging from the sky

Covered with snow.

The first picture shows a fairly straight part of the trail, with a reassuring guardrail on the left. The rocks in the trail here form very neat steps.

The second picture was well before the halfway point. Please follow the footprints in the snow until they disappear. Where did they go? This is just before one of many switchbacks and you can't see the footprints because they just made a 160 degree turn to the right. Follow the "horizon of the snow off to the right. That's the level of the trail. Up. Unrelentingly UP.
