It figures.

Well, his proboscis won’t be hard to miss!!

It is harder on your knees to hike down a steep hill than it is to climb up, especially if you are wearing a backpack.

I know it’s a cartoon, BUT! If you suddenly lose confidence in your balance (and the slightest quiver from a fatigued muscle can do that.) it can make a descent very scary. Katy has good reason to worry.

Scree? Talus how this ends.

“No nose, but I see 10 or 15 smashed rocks. Heck of a nose there, pops.”

My last serious mountain hike was through an area that had burned a couple of years before

Coming down was tricky, it was steep and a lot of unsettled ground

I did do a bit of dirt skiing, bit managed not to fall down

I think her question should have been, “How badly are you hurt?” rather than “Are you okay?” The missing nose should have been the give away.

does she have superglue in her backpack? we all knew it would happen after all.

Yesterday they were walking in the other direction, does this hill have switchbacks?

Whoa, Adam. Have you had work done? Your nose looks….

Okay….

“I thought this was it over here, but it’s snot…”

… which is why I always have hiking poles. They’ve saved my “nose” more than once.

Climbing down a steep roof is also scary.

Adam AKA “An accident waiting to happen.”

They got to the top, now they’re on the way back down.

will either need knee braces the next time they hike the mountain or check this off their bucket list as a “once and done”.

If he’s talkin’ like that, he’s OK. Snarky, but OK.

Well Adam, look at it this way…if your nose is all but gone, you can get a new slimmed down model and your insurance will most likely pay for it. Not to mention you’ll lose several pounds without even trying!

Love the SFX as gerunds.

Not Trail A in Fagradalsfjall!

OKay, who didn’t see that coming ?

Adam lost his nose? How does he smell?
