Warm down and silly walks

Long run with Nate, up to near seymour dam, then turned up towards bishops peak. Scrambly trail up, and then got to some little lakes but the water level was way higher than usual and the trail was hard to find and our feet got cold. Kept going up towards the peak, but it got snowy/slippery underfoot and we got pretty cold... had to turn around. We then tried to find the trail along the ridge back towards Seymour, but could not (again we think it was because it may have been underwater for the first bit). We were both getting rather close to hypothermia (I was loosing any dexterity in my hands, and even getting a bit hazy on foot placement) despite changing our top base layers and putting on proper rain jackets. We decided to bail down the hill the same way we came up (the ropes on the steep sections were more useful on the way down). Still a nice run, and a slight loop since we came up one side of the river and back on the other.
