I wonder if Ms. Johansson ponders the benefits of Salomon trail runners v. heavy duty Asolos? Whether to bring the Kahtoola microspikes, the full on crampons, or to just wing it with trekking poles? If she climbed Mt. Whitney, would she go up the MT, MR, or perhaps make her own trail?

Or is the point that it doesn't really matter.... smile

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
