We had to abort just before gaining the ridge and making the final assault on Forbidden, it was raining all weekend and that had made both the rock and ice extremely slippery. The snowfield approach to the ridge is quite steep, and gave us a couple opportunities to practice arresting solo and as a 4 man rope team.
Since the weather continued to suck, we bailed out Saturday afternoon, and had a brutal hike/stumble back to the truck where a change of clothes, some beers, and a nip of scotch was most welcome.
