After all this time in SLO, I finally hiked Bishop Peak on Friday with Megan, Elise, Hayley, and Polina. It was a little bumpy at first, during the initial incline (like it seriously felt like a straight vertical), and then there were rocks towards the top. The rocks weren't so bad, except at the very very top of the peak. My little legs were too short to get all the way up to sit on the rock, so I had help getting pulled up, and then being lowered down when we were leaving.
Also, Polina slipped and almost fell down the mountain when we were coming down from the top (and we were still basically at the very top). It was right in front of these two ladies who were already iffy about climbing up all the way, and when they saw her slip, they were like "Oh no, no way, turning back now!" Haha. So even though it wasn't funny that she fell, it was still a little funny. But that definitely did not help with my fear of falling off a mountain while hiking. So I definitely will be staying away from the edges from now on.
