Rest Step; A Life Metaphore
Saturday, April 24th, 2010On Friday our group climbed Mt. Humphry’s in Flagstaff, Arizona. We were hiking to 11,500 ft. in 6-8 inches of snow. We traveled there to train for our summit climb of Mt. Rainier on 7.13.10.
Rest Step: A pace of deliberate and stress-less forward momentum with built in pauses.
Curtis Fawley will be our lead guide on Rainier and he was with us for this hike. Curtis has hiked Rainier countless times, he has climbed most of the high peaks in the world and has been near the top of Everest before he had to turn around due to weather.
He explained a hiking technique to employ when the going gets tough (i.e.: steep hill + thin air) its called the “Rest Step”. It works like this; Secure firm real estate with one foot, lock out that down leg which will rock your body forward and pause your leg turnover (thus, the rest) while keeping your momentum in a forward motion setting you up for the next purchase of firm footing.
The technique feels like dancing when you are doing it correctly. This technique made the climb seem effortless. I loved the process and when the entire team was in rhythm it actually sounds and feels like music.
As I climbed the step slope to the top of the hill, I occurred to me that this technique should be employed in other areas of my life. Rest Step: A pace of deliberate and stress-less forward momentum with built in pauses.
