After overcoming some confusing off ramp signs, we made our way to REI Outdoor on NW Johnson. Then we confronted our biggest challange yet; how to work Portland's newfangled parking meters and how to get the receipt to stick to the curbside window. After some innovative brainstorming reminiscent of the Apollo 13 mission we finally got it to stay in place.
Inside at the rental counter there was a collective jaw drop when we spotted the enormous crampon equipped hiking boots.Once we tried them on they weren't as clumsy as they looked, but still hardly the thing to make fast time in. By the time we left we were outfitted with boots, crampons, helmets, hiking poles and an ice ax.
Yipes! I fear we have lost sight of our principles.
