After packing up, time for the long descent down the Wedge. Only this time, it was not long - it was fast. Everyone slid on their butts - I was wearing shorts, so I couldn't, so I glissaded another 3000 feet. My quads were getting a little tired. Plus, at this slope, sometimes I couldn't stop even when I wanted to! Here's Shaun joining us.
