foiled by the rain

Due to the rain, we had to turn around because right where the arrow is got super treacherous and we decided that it was a better idea to live than make it to the top. It took us longer to hike down than up because it got so slippery that we pretty much hiked down on our butts. We are such the romantics on Valentine's Day.
Beautiful landscape shot

You got pretty close - I can see why you said you're now pushing for a repeat performance. Sorry about the rain, but definitely a better choice to turn around. Interesting terrain.

Smart lady to turn back rather than risk life and limb.

Yup, better safe than sorry! Good attempt!

Hmmm ... hike on butts - a special form of romance ;-) But very sporty!
You are still young and have your whole life ahead of you - next Valentin's, next romantic day - and you will reach the summit.

Thank God - they survived. Every year in the Alps there are many fatal accidents. The reasons are often hubris, carelessness, poor tour planning.

@jerome I bet that the Alps are bad for that. We get stories of people dying looking for a lost goldmine http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2240620/Lost-Dutchmans-gold-Body-man-years-went-hunt-legend-Arizona-mountain
