However, we were soon greeted with boulders bigger than our bodies stacked carefully along the ridge. From our campsite, it looked like tundra and maybe a few rocks. There is really no way to tell the scale of something here because your reference point is probably just as skewed! We began slowly climbing down the boulders, cautiously placing our feet on them one at a time. If we moved too quickly, it would send rocks shooting to the bottom, leaving you there to watch them tumble and hope you could stay on your feet. I eventually made it to the smooth ridge below and looked back up at the boulders, trying to find Julia as she camouflaged right into them.
