The Trail Just Disapeared

So I was hiking on one of my favorite trails and after a couple miles I came to a spot that was completely washed away. It turned into a 15 foot muddy cliff that was impossible to climb. But I wasn’t going to turn around so I literally carved “Stairs” into the mud using thick sticks I found. I carved a “Step” and then climbed up on the step and then carved another “Step” several feet up. I kept doing this until i reached the top. It was important to compact the steps and make sure they are square. I stomped on them real good and made sure the mud wasn’t going anywhere.
