I did in 96'. Had a map and compass but didn't (couldn't) use it in the
gailforce snowstorm. Wandered off to far to the right on my return.*Felt*
something was wrong and moved back up a little and got back on the right
track. Actually I couldn't see the track but it *felt* ok. It was my first
hill/mountain ever :-)
