Pater noster–huh. Like a string of rosary beads. I learned a new term today–thanks!
This photo brings back memories. My first trip through this area in the ’70s, near the end of a 4-day backpacking trip, my hiking partner and I were hit by hurricane force winds: strongest I’ve ever felt, just as we were descending the headwall down to Alderson Lake. Under full packs, we couldn’t stand up in the wind, and had to crawl on hands-and-knees.
