We did leave my husband behind, partway up the trail to the top of Yosemite Falls, for a few reasons:
1. His knees were hurting and he asked to stop and for us to go on without him.
2. He wanted to sit in the shade and admire the view as he found it there.
3. We were coming right back down after a while.
4. It was in full view of the valley.
5. He had water.
6. There were people going by constantly, so it wasn’t backcountry.
We have remained happily married due to respect for personal autonomy, which is important. And *because* it’s important, that’s what makes it so corrosive to a relationship if the *needed* thing, respect for personal autonomy, starts to feel unkind, starts to feel like a burdensome source of grievance („Your needs slow me down, stop asking for them to get met!“). A relationship isn’t a real relationship if it turns into just another demand for performance.
Are both people adults? If so then this thing has been completely overblown. It is perfectly OK to hike the same speed, or not. If someone doesn’t feel comfortable hiking alone, then they should seek out others who feel the same and tend to hike the same speed as them.
Wife and I were at pinnacles this weekend and we did the high peaks loop. Wife struggled, knees were hurting, drank all her water, heat was too much. So what did I do? Gave her my water and helped her down each and every step.
It’s a hike, they’re your partner. Help as much as you can.
I just want an alpine divorce from society
living someone behind in a trail is literally something that happened in Brazil, dude was left behind and got lost for 5 days, now he’s famous because of the story of it… and it happened this year, not much time ago
The point is meeting up at viewpoints and camp. I prefer to hike alone. In many cases it’s just not safe to try to keep the pace of a partner that doesn’t have the same abilities. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to sit around and shoot the shit with them at camp.
Never go on a hike with someone you aren’t 100% sure doesn’t have your back. Can’t believe people leave others behind. Maybe it’s the new Englander in me? (Kind, not nice is the old saying) But shit I would and have helped rescue people I don’t even know on a trail that were left behind by their groups, terrible people.
If you go hiking with a group you are responsible for everyone in that group. You didn’t have to agree to hike with them, you could have gone by yourself or with a smaller group of more capable people. Once you start a trail with a group you fucking stay together and help each other come back safely.
